Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 box (18-18.3 oz) brownie mix
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional but highly recommended)
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 Tbsp water
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, all-purpose flour, eggs, vegetable oil, water, and chocolate chips. Use a wooden spoon to mix until just combined, being careful not to over-mix to maintain a tender texture.
- Scoop Dough: Using a cookie scoop (approximately 1 1/2 tablespoons or a #40 scoop), drop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet with at least one inch spacing between each dough ball to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still appear soft and slightly underbaked for a fudgy texture.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before enjoying.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try substituting the vegetable oil with melted butter.
- To make these cookies even fudgier, slightly underbake by removing them at 10 minutes.
- Chocolate chips are optional but highly recommended for added texture and taste.
- Storage: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- To keep dough fresh, refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking.
