Optional Ganache:

Instructions
- Prepare the Brownie Layers:

- Divide batter between pans and bake for 25-30 minutes. Cool completely.
- Make the Cookie Dough Layer:
- Cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add flour and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Adjust consistency with milk if needed.
- Assemble the Cake:
- Place one brownie layer on a serving plate. Spread cookie dough over it. Top with the second brownie layer.
- Optional Chocolate Ganache:
- Heat heavy cream until steaming. Pour over chopped chocolate, let sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth. Pour over assembled cake.
- Chill:
- Refrigerate for 1-2 hours before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Ensure brownies are completely cool before assembling to prevent melting the cookie dough.
