Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Ingredients
- 1 box Brownie Mix (prefer fudgy mixes)
- 2 large Eggs (essential for binding)
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil (adds moisture)
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips or Chunks
- 1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt (optional) (for flavor balance)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and sea salt (if using). Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated into a smooth, sticky dough.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips or chunks to distribute them evenly throughout the dough for extra bursts of chocolate.
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Scoop the Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft and fudgy.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set and retain their chewy texture.
Notes
- For extra gooey cookies, do not overbake; remove them when edges are set but centers look slightly undercooked.
- You can substitute vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer flavor if desired.
- If you prefer nuts, add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans along with the chocolate chips.
- Storing cookies in an airtight container at room temperature will keep them fresh for up to 3 days.
- Sea salt is optional but recommended to enhance the chocolate flavor.
