Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray an 18-by-13-inch sheet pan with cooking spray and top with parchment, leaving a 1-inch overhang on each of the short sides. Spray the parchment with cooking spray.
- Remove 1/4 cup of the cookie dough and reserve. Divide the remaining cookie dough into 3 equal portions. With the long sides of the prepared sheet pan positioned horizontally in front of you, visualize the pan divided into 8 even sections: 4 sections in the top row and 4 sections in the bottom row. Press one portion of the cookie dough into the top right section. Press a second portion of the dough into the section diagonally below and to the left of the first. Press the last portion of the dough into the bottom left corner.
- Prepare the brownie batter according to the package directions. Divide the batter among the remaining 5 sections (about 1/2 cup batter per section).
- Working from left to right on the top row, swirl 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter into the brownie batter in the top left corner. Press 6 of the chocolate sandwich cookies on top of the batter in the next section. Roll the reserved cookie dough into balls and arrange on top of each chocolate sandwich cookie and in the large diamond-shaped gaps between the cookies (do not place the balls too close to the edges of the section, or they may spread into the other sections). Swirl the dulce de leche into the batter in the next section and top with a sprinkle of coarse sea salt. Press the candy-coated chocolates into the cookie dough in the top right section.
- Working from left to right on the bottom row, press the crushed potato chips into the cookie dough in the first section, then arrange the pretzels on top. Press the graham cracker bears into the brownie batter in the next section. Top the next cookie section with alternating rows of cream cheese bits and white chocolate chips. Last, sprinkle the semisweet chocolate chips on the final section of brownie batter.
- Bake until the cookies are golden and the brownies are set, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan on a rack.
- Meanwhile, prepare the toppings: Microwave the remaining 1 tablespoon peanut butter in a small microwave-safe bowl until smooth and pourable, about 15 seconds. Crush the remaining 2 chocolate sandwich cookies. Transfer the frosting to a pastry bag.
- Drizzle the warm peanut butter over the swirled peanut-butter brownie section and top with the crushed peanuts. Sprinkle the remaining crushed chocolate sandwich cookies over the section containing the whole cookies. Swirl the frosting over the candy-coated chocolate candy section and top with the rainbow sprinkles. Top the graham cracker bears with the mini marshmallows and toast with a small kitchen torch (or broil the marshmallows under a low broiler for about 1 minute). Last, sprinkle the freeze-dried raspberries over the chocolate chip brownie on the bottom right.
- Lift the finished brownie-cookie bar out of the pan and remove the parchment paper. Slice vertically in 8 pieces and horizontally in 4 pieces to create multi-flavored pieces.

Stir in flour until well incorporated, then beat vigorously for 30-40 strokes. Stir in nuts or chocolate chips.
- Using a spatula, spread batter into a thin, even layer to edges and into corners of prepared sheet (batter will seem scant but brownies will rise to about 1/4" thick).
- Bake brownies until firm to the touch and a tester inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not runny batter) attached, 15-18 minutes.

SHEET PAN FUDGY CHOCOLATE BROWNIES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a large, rimmed baking sheet (12X18-inches) and set aside.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and chocolate; microwave in 1-minute intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is melted and smooth (don't overheat, it should be slightly warm, if at all). Add the sugar and stir until combined.
- Whisk in the eggs and vanilla, and mix until large bubbles pop at the surface - it will go from looking slightly curdled to really glossy and thick so keep stirring until you see the change. In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the batter and mix once or twice. With dry streaks remaining, add the chocolate chips and mix until well-combined.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until edges are set but the middle is still slightly gooey. If you want extra dense, fudgy brownies, halfway through the baking time, carefully lift up the baking pan and let it drop on the oven rack to release any air bubbles (totally optional). Let the brownies cool completely in the pan (I like to refrigerate them after they have baked and cooled - easier cutting and ultra-delicious, and don't get me started on how incredible these are straight from the freezer).

Tips:
- Use good quality chocolate: The type of chocolate you use will greatly affect the flavor of your brownies. Use a high-quality chocolate that you enjoy the taste of.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the brownies at the right temperature: The ideal baking temperature for brownies is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Baking them at a higher temperature will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: Cutting the brownies while they are still warm can make them fall apart. Let them cool completely before slicing them into squares.
- Garnish the brownies with your favorite toppings: There are endless possibilities when it comes to topping brownies. Some popular choices include nuts, chocolate chips, and ice cream.
Conclusion:
Sheet pan brownies are an easy and delicious dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for potlucks, parties, and bake sales. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect sheet pan brownies every time.
