For the Brownies:
Pick a pan (circular or square/rectangular) that measures about 9x9 or 9x13 depending on the thickness of brownie you desire. Grease pan with cooking spray.
Use your favorite box brownie mix and prepare and bake as directed. Let cool completely.

For the Cookie Dough:
3/4 C unsalted butter
3/4 C granulated sugar
3/4 C brown sugar, packed
1/4 t salt
1 t vanilla extract
1/4 t almond extract
1 C flour
1 C chocolate chips

Combine butter, salt, and sugars in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Mix until smooth. 
Add in milk, vanilla and almond extract (don't worry if you don't have almond extract, sub for vanilla).
Slowly mix in  flour until incorporated. Add in chocolate chips.
Take a spatula and spread dough across the cooled brownie layer until completely covered. Chill until ready to serve. 

Makes approximately 24 squares.
