Problem: They were coming over in approximately 10 minutes.
Another problem: I was out of butter. WHAT!?
This was when a box of brownie mix came to my rescue. I couldn't make brownies, because they take like 45 minutes to bake, so I decided to try and turn the mix into cookie batter. Turns out, adding just a little bit of flour to the mix and some chocolate chips did the trick.
Chocolate Chip Brownie Mix Cookies
