(Even Easier) Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies

There has been an incredible recipe racing around the internet this month for brownies topped with raw cookie dough batter. My wife made it clear that she was changing the locks unless I made these for her.

As expected the brownies were unbelievably delicious, but I know a lot of you do not have the time or patience to step through a recipe making brownies, cookie dough and a drizzle topping from scratch.

Chef Dad shortcut: whip the brownies together from a store-bought package, and skip the fancy topping for a quick sprinkle of chocolate chips. Half the work, half the hassle, all of the scrumdidlyumptious goodness!
