Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 box of brownie mix (standard size, about 18-20 oz)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter for richer flavor)
Optional Mix-Ins
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- Nuts (e.g., walnuts, pecans)
- Candies (e.g., M&Ms, Reese’s Pieces)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir until the mixture is well blended and has a thick consistency similar to cookie dough. If desired, gently fold in chocolate chips, nuts, or candies now.
- Form Cookies: Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to create evenly sized cookies.
- Bake Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges appear set but the centers remain slightly soft. Remember, the cookies will firm up as they cool.
- Cool Cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely for best texture.
- Enjoy and Store: Enjoy these chewy, fudgy cookies fresh, or store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Notes
- You can substitute vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
- Feel free to customize with your favorite mix-ins like nuts, chocolate chips, or colorful candies.
- Do not overbake; the cookies should be slightly soft in the center to maintain their chewy texture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh up to 5 days.
- For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free brownie mix.
