Cookie Dough Brownies

Ingredients

1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients needed to prepare) – You can certainly make a home-made brownie, but be forewarned that with the dough, these brownies are VERY rich. A homemade brownie may send these over the top.

3/4 cup butter or margarine (That is 1 and 1/2 sticks)
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup granulated white sugar
3 T  milk
1 1/2 t vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 t salt
1 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips (I used regular chocolate chips, and as per usual, I didn’t measure…It’s chocolate chips…You won’t go wrong!)

To Prepare

1. Start by preparing your favorite 13×9 brownie recipe. Because I had four kids running around (and honestly, because I sort of prefer them), I used a boxed brownie mix. Prepare as directed and allow to cool.

2. While the brownies are baking, mix up your dough. Cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Mix in your wet ingredients. Add the dry ingredients, and beat until all of the ingredients are well incorporated.

*Note that the dough will look like, feel like, and taste like cookie dough! This is cookie dough in all of its wonderfully grainy and creamy goodness.

3. Refrigerate your cookie dough until your brownies have cooled completely.

4. Spread the cookie dough on top of the brownies. This CAN be a bit tricky. You are most likely going to have to use your hands for at least part of the process. SO worth it!

5. Refrigerate the brownies until you’re ready to serve them. Serve with a fork and a glass of milk!
