Three layers of delicious, naughty, sinful, wicked goodness.

Things are about to get super delicious around here with these triple-layered brownies.

It’s Saul’s birthday and he isn’t the biggest fan of cakes or cupcakes. So I figured why not do epic brownies instead and use Saul’s favorite biscuit.

The bottom layer is chocolate chip cookie dough. The middle layer is “Eet-Sum-More Biscuits” (a buttery shortbread cookie sold in South Africa) but you can substitute this with any shortbread cookie. And the top layer is an ooey-gooey dark chocolate brownie.

Three layers equal THREE TIMES MORE YUMMMMM factor.

I cannot explain how epic they are. You have to try them. The only problem is stopping yourself from devouring the entire batch.

You can serve these warm with some vanilla ice cream or enjoy them with a nice cup of hot coffee or tea.

Off to enjoy the rest of Saul’s birthday and bask in my sugar coma. Happy Friday

Eet-sum-more Brownies

  • Author: Melissa Mayo

Ingredients

Scale

FOR THE BROWNIE

  • 10 TBS unsalted butter
  • 1 ¼ cups white sugar
  • ¾ cups cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large room temperature eggs
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

FOR THE BISCUIT LAYER

  • 1 ½ packs of Eet-Sum-More biscuits (approx. 20)

FOR THE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH

  • ½ cup room temperature unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • 1 egg (room temperature)
  • 1 ¼ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

FOR THE BROWNIE

Heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once it’s melted add the sugar and cocoa powder and whisk to combine. Remove the pan from the stove and whisk in the salt, vanilla and eggs until completely combined. Add the flour and whisk to combine. Set mixture aside.

FOR THE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH

Cream the butter and white and brown sugar in a stand mixer. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix making sure to scrape down the sides. On low speed add the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt). Mix till everything is combined. Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and using a spatula fold in the chocolate chips. Set the dough aside.

Preheat the oven to 350 F/175 C

Line the bottom of a 9-inch x 9-inch baking tin with foil making sure to get it into the corners. Spray the foil with non-stick spray.

TO ASSEMBLE

Place the cookie dough in the tin and press down so the bottom layer is even. Lay the Eet-Sum-More cookies on top of this to create the middle layer. Pour over the brownie mixture and spread it out evenly making sure all the biscuits are coated.

Bake on the middle rack for 35 minutes. Test with a knife. If the knife comes out with batter on it bake for another 5 minutes.

Cool completely. Cut into squares.

MAKES 25-35 DEPENDING ON HOW YOU CUT THEM

Notes

If you cannot find Eet-Sum-Mores use any shortbread butter biscuit instead. I like Walkers Shorthbread
