Simple Cookie Dough Brownies

i found this recipe in a 2007 Betty Crocker baking magazine that had fallen some where into the endless abyss that is my cabinet lol it is extremely simple a great idea for when you have to throw something together in a hurry for surprise company or for your kids. now originally the recipe called for frosting to top the brownies, but i think that is just WAY too much! i mean as sad as it is there is such a thing as too much chocolate but if you want feel free to try it for yourself.

2. set the caramel pouch from the turtle brownie mix aside. in a large bowl stir brownie mix, water, oil, and eggs with a large spoon until well blended.
3. spread only half the batter in to the bottom of the pan (you may need to take the spoon and spread it out a little seeing as how the brownie batter tends to be thick).
4. in another bowl break cookie dough into small pieces and sprinkle the cookie dough evenly over the brownie batter in the pan. once finished take the caramel pouch you set aside earlier and squeeze the caramel over top the cookie dough.
5. top it all off with the remaining half of the batter from the bowl and spread it evenly until cookie dough and caramel is covered.
