Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 (18–19 oz) box brownie mix
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks (optional)
- Flaky sea salt for topping (optional)
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, all-purpose flour, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until a thick, scoopable dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks if you’re using them, distributing them evenly throughout the dough for bursts of chocolate.
- Form Cookie Dough Balls: Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers remain slightly soft to keep the fudgy texture.
- Cool and Add Toppings: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes. While still warm, sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired for a flavor contrast.
- Transfer and Serve: After cooling slightly, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm for a soft, fudgy experience.
Notes
- These cookies have a fudgy and soft center with slightly crisp edges, similar to brownies but in cookie form.
- You can add nuts, candy pieces, or white chocolate chips for variety and extra texture.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
