Brownies

 I lined the 9x13 cake pan with wax paper.  Then I placed whole graham crackers on top of the wax paper, covering the whole pan.  I prepared the brownie mix (following their instructions) then I pour the brownie mix on top of the graham crackers and baked according their instructions. 

The recipe below is brownies and chocolate chip cookies.   I followed the recipe on the box.

First I lined the 9x13 cake pan with foil because I was out of wax paper.  Then I poured the prepared brownie mix on top of the foil.  Then I  separated half the package of Nestle Toll House Cookies.  I put the other half in the refrigerator to use at another time.  I placed 12 mini cookies on top of the brownies.  I planned on cutting 12 big brownies and I made sure each brownie had a cookie in it. So it was 4 cookies to a row and 3 to a column.  They were both really good but I was surprised the graham cracker was my favorite.  Next time I make the graham cracker recipe I plan on putting mini marshmallows on the top the last 5 minutes of baking.   Making SMores.  I didn't do it this time because it is messing and I didn't want to deal with it.

Ice Cream Sandwiches

Brownie Cookies/Ice Cream Sandwiches

recipe by Duncan Hines

Ingredients

1 box of chewy brownie mix

1 egg

1/4 Cup of oil

2 tablespoons water

Preheat oven to 350 deg. Mix all ingredients together. Make ping pong size balls out of dough. Bake for 10 -15 minutes on cookie sheet. I used the Pampered Chef Scoops to make the balls.  I started off with the small scoop and ended up choosing the medium scoop to make the perfect size cookie for Ice Cream Sandwiches.  I made the balls and put a measuring cup on top the balls and pressed down on them to flatten them out.  
*** Tip - Frozen brownie cookies aren't good, so you have to assemble the cookies when you plan on serving them.  To make it easy I scoop the ice cream the day before and put the flatten ice cream scoops in a rubber made container.  That actually did help.
