Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10-12 minutes
Total Time: 22 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 box brownie mix (18-20 oz)
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Begin by warming your oven to 350°F (175°C), placing your rack right in the middle. Cover a baking tray with parchment paper and get all your ingredients ready on the counter. Let your eggs stay at room temperature – this makes them mix better with everything else.
  2. Empty the brownie mix into a big bowl. Sprinkle in the flour bit by bit, stirring everything together with a whisk until you get rid of any lumps. Make a dip in the middle of your dry mix – this helps the wet stuff blend in better.
  3. First, crack your eggs in a little bowl (so no shell pieces sneak in). Pour them into the dip you made, then add your measured oil and room temperature water. Start mixing from the middle, working your way to the edges until everything comes together. Use a rubber scraper to clean the sides of the bowl. Your dough should look shiny and feel thick, but don’t stir too much.
  4. If you want to add chocolate chips, scatter them gently into your dough along with a splash of vanilla if you like. Make sure they spread evenly through the mix while keeping the dough nice and thick. Keep your dough cool while you work.
  5. Use a big spoon or cookie scoop to drop rounded scoops onto your lined tray. Leave plenty of space between them – about two finger-widths – since they’ll spread while baking. Try to make them all the same size so they bake evenly. You can press them down a little if you want, and add any toppings now.
  6. Put your tray in the hot oven and set a timer for 10 minutes. Try not to open the oven door too soon or the heat will escape. Start checking after 8 minutes – you want the edges to look set but the middle should still be soft. Give them an extra minute or two if needed, but watch them closely.
  7. Take them out carefully and put the tray on a cooling rack. Let them sit for 5 minutes – they’re still cooking a bit. Test one cookie’s edge with a spatula to make sure it’s firm enough to move, then gently lift them onto the cooling rack.Space the cookies generously on the cooling rack, letting each one breathe. Once they’ve cooled right through – no warmth at all when you touch the bottom – they’re ready to store.
  8. Here’s the real secret to these amazing cookies: it’s all about treating them with care. Mix them just enough (not too much!), keep an eye on the clock (timing is everything), and pull them from the oven at just the right moment (better a bit soft than too crisp). Pop them in an airtight container, and if your family’s anything like mine, you’ll be lucky if they last more than a day or two! Each batch disappears faster than the last – they’re just that good.

Cooking Tips

  • Line with parchment – no sticking, even baking, and easy cleanup every time!
  • Mix just until the flour disappears – that’s when you’ll get the fudgiest, most tender cookies.
  • Take them out when edges are set but middles look a bit underdone – they’ll finish perfectly on the hot pan.
  • Get creative! Add nuts, chocolate chips, or top with sea salt. Each batch can be a new adventure.
  • For extra-thick cookies, chill your dough. Want them thin and chewy? Pop them straight in the oven.
  • Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep them soft. They’ll stay fresh and delicious for days!

Storage and Serving Suggestions:

These cookies are amazing warm from the oven, but if you have leftovers (I’d be surprised!), they keep well at room temperature for up to 3 days in an airtight container. For even longer storage, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container once frozen. They’ll keep for up to 3 months and are perfect for pulling out when you need a quick chocolate fix!
