Step 4
Take remaining 1/3 cookie dough, and flatten between your hands, a little at a time, and lay over the fudge layer as evenly as possible. (Because the dough is sticky, it works best to spray your clean hands with cooking spray to make the dough easier to handle).

Step 5
Bake 22-25 minutes or until golden and the edges start to slightly pull away from the sides of the pan. Cool on the counter, then chill for 2 or more hours before cutting. Store tightly covered.
