Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownie's

For the last couple of months I've been having a love affair with brownies. So delicious, and chocolatey!
I also happen to love chocolate chip cookies, so when I saw this recipe I knew it would be a big winner with me!

CHOCOLATE CHIP BROWNIE COOKIES

Brownies:

1 box (family size) fudge brownie mix

Ingredients listed on the box to prepare the brownies using a 9 x 13 pan.

Cookies:

4 Tbsp. butter, softened to room temp. (no substitutions)

1/4 c. packed brown sugar

2 Tbsp. white sugar

1 egg

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

1/2 c. plus 2 Tbsp. flour

1/4 tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. salt

3/4 c. chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Prepare the brownie mix and baking pan according to package directions for the 9 x 13 size.  Pour the batter into the pan.

For the cookie dough:

In a large size mixing bowl cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla, and mix until well blended.  In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Combine the flour mix with the creamed sugar mixture until most of the flour is incorporated, add the chocolate chips and mix until all is well combined.

Using heaping tablespoonfuls, drop the cookie dough over the top of the brownie batter. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are set and the center no longer wobbles if the pan is slightly shaken.  Cool for 1 hour.  When completely cool, cut into squares and store at room temperature in a lightly covered container.
