Cookie Dough Brownies

I get asked for this recipe time and time again. For whatever reason, no one seems to think their cookie dough brownies turn out the same as my brownies...even though I tell them exactly what to use. Hmmmm...maybe it is a trick to get me to make them. To make these brownies turn out every single time...

...use Betty Crocker Original Supreme Brownie Mix and Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix. My brother makes his special chocolate chip cookie dough and the cookie brownies do not turn out the same. Other friends have learned that a tube of Nestle Toll House cookie dough does not turn out the same, either. I make great chocolate chip cookies, but I still use the dry mix for my Betty's cookie dough brownies.

Preheat oven to 365F. Follow the directions on the box of brownie mix. Tip: if you like really chewy brownies, fold in a cup of mini-marshmallows into the brownie mix. Pour combined brownie mix in your (cooking sprayed) baking pan and/or silicon heart shaped molds. Follow the directions on the package of cookie mix and then add dollops of the cookie dough on top of the brownie mix.

Bake for approximately 35min in a 9"x9" pan (55min for 9"x11" pan, 28min for molds). Let cool. Remove and serve.

Made with love: heart shaped brownies.

The heart shaped brownies had a nice little indentation in the middle of the hearts just begging for a scoop of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream with chocolate sauce drizzled on top:
