I have always helped my grandma bake various things and when I got old enough to use a oven I started baking a lot more! Baking is probably one of my favorite things to do. I love trying new recipes. I chose this recipe to make because it looked delicious and has two things I love, cookies and brownies. This recipe is moist fudgy brownies with a tasty topping that tastes like cookie dough !

Reflection:
Personally, I would not make these brownies again. The topping has a weird taste. I didn't think that they were horrible but they aren't something that I would eat for a dessert. Also, I had different reviews from oeople that tried them. So maybe you would like to try and bake them, you might enjoy them!
