The dough in this recipe is certainly cookie dough, but the end result is about 4-inches thick, so it ends up looking much more like a brownie.  Cooking it in a 12-inch or even a 14-inch dutch oven (but for less time) would turn it into something resembling cookie bars.

This is delicious, and goes VERY well with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.

I'll post some more pictures soon.

You did this one justice for sure.  I think I just licked my screen--LOL!
