Cookie Dough Brownies

This is another copycat recipe that I found on a couple of other blogs including Bakerella and The Girl Who Ate Everything, but they originally come from Betty Crocker. Don't worry. I'll be putting my own recipes on here soon! These I also made for our ward linger longer on Sunday. They, like the brownie bites, were a hit! Anything that looks a little different or out of the ordinary usually get people curious and want to try! These not only are a copycat recipe, but a cheater recipe too. They take all of 5 minutes to put together. The recipe calls for a Betty Crocker chocolate chip cookie mix. I didn't have one on hand, and my grocery store had every kind, but that kind, so I cheated extra and used the log of refrigerated dough. It worked out well though and then I didn't have to get another bowl dirty!
