Cookie Brownies

I found this recipe on the back of a pouch of Betty Crocker chocolate chip cookie mix a while back.  It mixes two of my favorite desserts, cookies and brownies.  Now, I normally use chocolate chip cookies with these, but this time, I made them with peanut butter cookies.  Equally good!  When I make these, I usually use boxed mixes to make it go faster.  But, if you wanted, you could use a recipe from scratch, you just need to have enough brownie batter for a 13×9 pan, cookie dough to make 2 dozen cookies, and frosting for the top.

Cookie Brownies

What you need:

1 box brownie mix with enough for a 13×9 pan, preferably a type with frosting included, and ingredients listed on box
1 pouch cookie mix and ingredients listed on pouch
1 can frosting (if your brownie mix didn’t have frosting)

How to make it:

Prepare brownie batter according to the box.  Prepare cookie dough according to the pouch.  Grease the bottom of the 13×9 pan and pour in brownie batter.  Divide cookie into 24 balls and press into brownie batter.  (I miscounted the cookie dough balls in the picture below, oops!)

Bake in a 350 F oven for 35 – 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted 2 inches from the edge comes out clean.  Allow to cool, then frost.
