Brookie Bars

Whenever I volunteer to make desserts for a get-together, I often make more than one dessert.  One will be a dessert I think will be appealing to most everyone, and the other will be a bit more "creative."

For a recent get together my appeal-to-everyone dessert was Brookie Bars.

They're basically a brownie and cookie combined (brownie base with a cookie layer on top).

They are super easy to make.  You can make everything from scratch, or if you're in a pinch, you can use ready made mixes/dough (or a combination) to make a very delicious dessert (and of the two desserts I made for this specific get together, this ran out much faster than the other dessert I made).
