Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, flour, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until a thick dough forms.
- Fold in the chocolate chips (or any mix-ins you like).
Step 2: Scoop & Bake
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the lined baking sheet, leaving about 5 cm (2 inches) of space between each.

- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips & Tricks for the Best Brownie Mix Cookies
✔ Don’t Overbake! – The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool. Take them out when the centers still look slightly soft.
✔ Chill the Dough (Optional for Thicker Cookies) – If you want thicker, chewier cookies, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
✔ Use a High-Quality Brownie Mix – A rich, fudgy brownie mix will give the best results.
✔ Customize the Mix-Ins – Try different chocolate chips, nuts, or even caramel bits for variety!
✔ For Extra Gooey Cookies – Press a few extra chocolate chips on top of each cookie right after baking.
Serving & Storage
???? Storage – Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
