Cookie Dough Brownies

I needed to make a treat for work and I wasn’t sure what I wanted to make until one of my dearest friends suggested Cookie Dough Brownies.  They sounded delicious and since she was there to make them with me, we made them.  They were delicious! They tasted exactly like cookie dough. SO HEAVENLY!!  Plus…they are so easy.
