Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownie Bars

Confuse with the recipe title? Is this cookie or brownie? This is a marriage between cookie and brownie. Brownies bar top with cookie dough. Sounds great right?

I like combo flavour of chocolate and orange. With NuNaturals Chocolate and Orange NuStevia Liquid around (refer to early post on NuNaturals Giveaway) I have the advantage to use them. I replaced sugar with NuNaturals PreSweet Tagatose which gave me lower calories kind of dessert :)
