Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 box (18–19 oz) brownie mix
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- Pinch of salt (if brownie mix is unsalted)
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Add-ins
- 1 cup chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix the dough: In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, all-purpose flour, vanilla extract (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir until a thick, uniform dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Add chocolate chips: Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks evenly throughout the batter to provide bursts of rich chocolate in every bite.
- Portion the cookies: Using heaping tablespoons, scoop portions of dough and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet to allow room for spreading.
- Bake the cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 9–11 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft, which results in chewy cookies.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they don’t break apart.
Notes
- To achieve fudgier cookies, slightly underbake them and allow them to finish setting on the baking tray.
- Customize by adding chopped nuts, peanut butter chips, or swirling in caramel for added flavor and texture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
