For many, baking has always been a pretty special way to bond, and this time was no different.
My girlfriend and I decided to try the Betty Crocker Delights Cookies “Brownie Cookie Cake” from Stop & Shop. With its appealing promise of combining cookies and brownies into one warm dessert, we decided to see if it would live up to the hype. Here is how our experience went, along with whether it was worth the price and the effort it took to make.
The Baking Process
The process was surprisingly simple. Unlike recipes that over exaggerate the use of other or special equipment, this mix required only a standard bowl, a spatula, and a baking dish. The instructions were easy to follow which made it beginner-friendly. Even with barely any baking experience, it would be hard to mess up this recipe. The box came with clear instructions, requiring only basic ingredients: water, vegetable oil, and an egg. Mixing the brownie batter and cookie dough separately was simple, with both combining smoothly without any lumps. One unexpected part was how much fun it was to layer the cookie dough over the brownie base. The difference between the thick, chewy cookie dough and the smoother brownie batter gave a preview of the texture we were about to enjoy. The total prep time was under 15 minutes, which made it a great option for anyone who wants quick results without much work. After we finished the batter, we slid the pan into the preheated oven and set the timer for 35 minutes. The kitchen soon filled with an irresistible aroma of brownies and freshly baked cookies– a detail that added to the hype.
Taste Test 
The real test came after the brownie cooled enough for us to slice it. Cutting into it revealed a soft gooey brownie layer with a perfectly golden cookie top. Each bite was a mix of rich chocolatey brownie and buttery cookie dough. The flavors balanced with each other well—not too sweet or too bland. The cookie top had a slight crunch while the brownie layer was soft and melt-in-your-mouth. Both layers stayed moist and surprisingly avoided the dry crumbly texture that tends to sometimes ruin boxed desserts.
Final Thoughts
Baking the Betty Crocker Delights Cookies Brownie Cookie Cake was fun and rewarding. The process was simple, making it enjoyable to bake together without any stress. The taste was spot on, mixing two classic treats into a rich combination that was satisfying but not too heavy. For $3.49, it was worth every penny and delivered more flavor and quality than I expected from a boxed mix. Would we make it again? Definitely. It’s perfect for casual gatherings, a movie night, or just because. If you’re looking for an easy dessert that pleases a crowd without costing much or testing your patience, the Betty Crocker Delights Cookies Brownie Cookie Cake is a solid choice. We’re already planning our next baking date to find out what other treats can match this sweet success.
