Biscoff Gingersnap Brownies {& A Cookbook Giveaway!}

Chocolaty, fudgy brownies get a chewy gingersnap crust and are then topped off with a creamy Biscoff buttercream in these Biscoff Gingersnap Brownies...

I think by now you all are well aware of my obsession with and love for Biscoff spread, aka cookie butter.  It started with that very first spoonful. And trust me.... that is all it takes to begin the addiction, folks. ;)

So, you all can probably guess at how thrilled I was to discover that there is a cookbook out there filled with just recipes that use Biscoff spread and cookies!  

As soon as I made this discovery, I ordered my copy from Amazon- The Biscoff Cookie & Spread Cookbook from Katrina Bahl of Katrina's Kitchen.  It was also pretty nice to know that there happens to be another food blogger out there who shares my affinity for all things cookie butter. 

I had been kicking around an idea for a gingersnap crusted brownie for a couple of weeks now. I just love the combination of rich chocolate with spicy ginger.  But it needed something just a little more... 

As I was flipping through my copy of The Biscoff Cookie & Spread Cookbook, I came to the recipe for Biscoff Buttercream and I knew that I found the missing component for my brownie recipe idea.  The creamy buttercream with it's spiced buttery cookie flavor turned out to be just the icing on the cake (ahem... brownies) I was looking for for this new sweet treat recipe... 

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Layered Brownies

Cookie dough, pumpkin, and chocolate lovers alike will love these decadent Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Layered Brownies...

I certainly hope that you all are not over pumpkin yet this season.  Because these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Layered Brownies just may change your mind about that if you think that you are. ;)

These brownies are kind of insane, folks.  They start with your favorite boxed brownie mix, although you could certainly use a homemade brownie recipe with this as well.  

Then those thick, fudgy brownies are covered with a creamy and egg-free pumpkin chocolate chip cookie dough layer. And if that wasn't enough, I went and topped the whole thing off with a simple chocolate ganache.  

Yep. Delicious insanity.

I dare you to try to eat just one. ;)
