Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies

Ok, so these are cheating just a bit since they are from gasp! a mix, but you won’t believe how stinkin’ good they are! I made these Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies for a friend’s birthday who told me he liked cookies or brownies. I’m not one to bring the same ol’ same ol’, so I found these on Betty Crocker’s website and thought they would be perfect.

So, how’s it taste?

Num, num, num! Crazy good. Like a brownie, but way better and like a cookie, but way better. Talk about a perfect combo to satisfy a sweet tooth. The recipe could not be easier. Grab a box of brownie mix, grab a pouch of chocolate chip cookie mix, and let them bake together into this perfect square of goodness. A glass of milk never had a better partner. The original recipe calls for adding frosting. After reading through several reviews on it being too rich, I decided to leave it unfrosted. I would like to try homemade brownie and cookie mix to see how much better they could be (although these are pretty darn amazing), but if you’re in a hurry and need something impressive, don’t hesitate to let Betty do some work for you. I will have these in my oven again for sure!
