Making the brownies
The brownies are made with a Betty Crocker brownie mix and simply follow the directions on the back of the box. I used two boxes to make the brownies thicker and fuller in the 9x13 pan. That certainly isn't necessary.
The brownies will be made according to package directions and baked according to package directions for two brownie mixes.
Important: the brownies, after baking, will need to be cooled completely before the cookie dough can be spread on top.
Making the chocolate chip cookie dough
The eggless chocolate chip cookie dough can be made while the brownies are cooling on the counter after baking.
Mix the butter, brown sugar and sugar together in a medium bowl.
Then, mix in the milk and vanilla. Stir in the flour. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Yes you can. I do recommend to watch your sensitivity to uncooked flour, even if it is gluten free. There are gluten free brownie mix too.
