Ingredients
Scale
Base 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 the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent cookies from sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir until well blended into a thick dough resembling cookie dough rather than typical brownie batter. If desired, fold in chocolate chips, nuts, or candies for extra texture and flavor.
- 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 ensure even-sized cookies for uniform baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges are set but the centers remain slightly soft. This ensures a chewy, fudgy texture. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set and prevents them from breaking apart.
- Serve and Store: Enjoy your delicious chewy brownie cookies fresh. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, substitute the vegetable oil with melted butter.
- You can customize the cookies by adding your favorite mix-ins like nuts, chocolate chips, or candies.
- Do not overbake to keep the cookies soft and fudgy inside.
- Allow cookies to cool properly to firm up the texture before handling.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh up to 5 days.
