cookie dough topped brownies.

these have to be the easiest homemade brownies in the world. everything is mixed in a sauce pan. it is fabulous.

plus, cookie dough is amazing. i could eat it every day. 

i have made these a couple times before and every one loves them. they are super rich so don't try to eat the whole pan. you might get sick. don't say i didn't warn you.
