For the Cookie Dough:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy cream or milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon salt

For the Hazelnut Ganache & Topping:

Instructions:
Prepare Brownies: Preheat oven to 350F. Grease two 9-inch springform pans and line with parchment paper. Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions, divide the batter between the pans, and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
Make Cookie Dough: Beat the butter, sugars, cream, and vanilla until smooth. Mix in the flour and salt, then fold in the chocolate chips.
Assemble Cake: Place one brownie layer upside down on a serving plate, spread the cookie dough evenly on top, then cover with the second brownie layer.
Add Hazelnut Ganache: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, heavy cream, and hazelnut spread. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir until smooth. Pour the ganache over the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts.
Chill and Serve: Store covered in the fridge for up to 3 days or at room temperature for about a day. Slice and enjoy this delicious creation!
