Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 box Brownie Mix (Choose a fudgy mix for the best texture.)
- 2 large Eggs (Help bind the dough.)
- 1/3 cup Vegetable Oil (Keeps the cookies moist.)
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips or Chunks (Adds pockets of melting chocolate.)
- 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt (Optional, enhances flavor.)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir until a thick, cohesive dough forms. This mixture will be dense and fudgy for that brownie-like texture.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips or chunks using a spatula to distribute them evenly throughout the dough without breaking them down.
- Form Cookies: Drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes. The edges should be set while the centers remain soft and fudgy.
- Cool Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. This helps them set without breaking apart.
- Optional Seasoning: While still warm, sprinkle sea salt over the cookies to enhance the chocolate flavor and add a touch of savory contrast.
- Serve: Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm for a gooey treat.
Notes
- Using a fudgy brownie mix ensures the best texture for these cookies.
- Make sure not to overbake; the centers should stay soft for the ideal fudgy consistency.
- Sea salt is optional but highly recommended for an elevated flavor profile.
- For an extra indulgence, add nuts like walnuts or pecans to the dough.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
