Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box (18-20 oz) brownie mix
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
Supporting Ingredients:
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup chocolate chips or chunks
Optional Add-ins:
- ½ cup crushed walnuts or pecans
- ½ cup mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes
- ¼ cup sprinkles or crushed candy
- ½ cup peanut butter or caramel chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to create a nonstick surface for your cookies.
- Grab a large mixing bowl and pour in the entire 18-20 oz brownie mix, creating the base for your decadent treats.
- Add ¼ cup vegetable oil and 2 large eggs to the brownie mix, whisking until a smooth, thick dough develops.
- Optional: Sprinkle ¼ cup all-purpose flour into the mixture if you want slightly thicker, more structured cookies.
- Select your favorite mix-ins like ½ cup chocolate chips, crushed nuts, or marshmallows, and gently fold them into the dough.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Slide the baking sheet into the 350°F oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, watching for set edges but slightly soft centers.
- Remove the cookies and let them rest directly on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up slightly.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack, allowing them to cool completely and develop their rich, fudgy texture.
Notes
- Check your brownie mix package for any specific instructions that might differ from this basic recipe.
- Experiment with different mix-ins like peanut butter chips, white chocolate, or crushed candy to create unique flavor combinations.
- For a gluten-free version, choose a gluten-free brownie mix and ensure your add-ins are also gluten-free.
- Cool the cookies completely on the wire rack to let them set and develop a slightly crisp exterior while maintaining a soft, fudgy center.
