Ingredients
Scale
Basic Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix (18–19 oz, such as Ghirardelli, Duncan Hines, or Betty Crocker)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Optional Add-ins
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and all-purpose flour. Use a spoon or spatula to stir the ingredients together until a thick dough forms. The dough should be scoopable but not too runny. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a tender texture.
- Add Mix-ins: If you choose to include chocolate chips or other mix-ins like chopped nuts or candies, gently fold them into the dough now.
- Scoop the Dough: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet. Space them about 2 inches apart to allow for slight spreading during baking.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cookie edges are set but the centers still appear slightly soft. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies fudgy.
- Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 2 to 3 minutes. Then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Do not overmix the dough to keep the cookies soft and fudgy.
- Feel free to add mix-ins like nuts, candies, or different types of chocolate chips for variation.
- Baking time can vary slightly based on your oven, so keep an eye on the cookies towards the end to avoid overbaking.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Allow cookies to cool properly to set their texture and avoid crumbling.
