Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 and line 9"x13" pan with nonstick foil.

In the microwave, melt butter. When melted, add sugar, and stir to combine.

Spread batter into prepared pan, and smooth as needed.  Press Oreos into the batter to line pan.
Bake brownies about 10 minutes.  Top with choc chip cookie batter -I used small scoops of dough scattered across the top.   (I made the recipe below but did not use all of it.  I used the leftovers to bake cookies on a sheet pan.)  Return to the oven for about 25 minutes until cooked through.
