Trader Joe's Brownie + Cookie = Brookie

The idea is simple and seemingly brilliant: bake brownie dough and chocolate-chip cookie dough together, with the latter spread on top of the former.

The execution, however, is terribly disappointing. Neither component is up to snuff--bland and not very sweet. Worst of all, the brookie I had was way too dry, though of course I don't know whether that's a systemic problem or just the odd bad sample.


Will I buy it again? 

No. I wouldn't purchase either part of this if offered alone, and the combination doesn't make things any better.
