Betty Crocker's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies

With the holidays coming up, it's nice to be able to come up with a fast, easy recipe that you can make cheaply. Betty Crocker coupons are easy to come by. You can take a $1.00 off two cookie mixes and combine this with a $.40 coupon for each mix. As long your local grocery store cooperates, you can save $1.80 off two mixes. (Be sure to buy on sale too.) I wait to buy brownie mixes until they are a $1.00 or less.

Frost if you want. I think they are pretty sweet without it.

Ingredients:

• 1 box (1 lb 2.4 oz) Betty Crocker® Original Supreme Premium brownie mix
• Water, vegetable oil and egg called for on brownie mix box
• 1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker® chocolate chip cookie mix
• 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
• 1 egg
• 1 container Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy chocolate frosting, if desired 

Preparations:

1. Heat oven to 350ºF (325ºF for dark or nonstick pan). Spray bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray, or grease with shortening. Make brownie mix as directed on box. Spread in pan.
2. Make cookie mix as directed on pouch, using butter and 1 egg. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls evenly onto brownie batter; press down lightly.
3. Bake 42 to 47 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out almost clean. Cool on cooling rack 30 minutes. Frost with frosting. For brownies, cut into 7 rows by 6 rows.
