Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Layer

  • 1 box brownie mix (for a 13 x 9-inch baking dish), plus ingredients listed on the box
  • Green and white sprinkles (optional)

Cookie Topping

  • 1 package Pillsbury™ Ready to Bake!™ Football Shape™ Sugar Cookies

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 13×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly spray with baking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Brownie Batter: Prepare the brownie mix according to the package directions, ensuring you follow the instructions specific for a 13 x 9-inch pan. Once the batter is ready, spread it evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  3. Add Sprinkles (Optional): If desired, sprinkle green and white sprinkles evenly over the top of the brownie batter to add a festive look and a slight crunch.
  4. Arrange Sugar Cookies: Place 15 Pillsbury™ Ready to Bake!™ Football Shape™ Sugar Cookies on top of the brownie layer in a 5 by 3 grid pattern, spacing them evenly.
  5. Bake: Bake the brownies according to the package directions. Since there are cookies on top, the total baking time might be a few minutes longer; begin checking for doneness at the minimum recommended baking time.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Cut into bars and serve for a fun football-inspired dessert.

Notes

  • Ensure the brownie mix is for a 13 x 9-inch pan for the best fit and baking results.
  • Check the cookies halfway through baking to prevent over-browning since they bake atop the brownies.
  • You can omit the sprinkles or substitute with your team’s colors or other festive toppings.
  • Allow the brookies to cool completely to make cutting easier and maintain the cookie shape.
  • Store brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for extended freshness.
