Ingredients
Scale
1 box (about 18.3 oz) of your favorite fudgy brownie mix
2 large eggs
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional addition)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the entire box of dry brownie mix and the 2 large eggs. Mix with a spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough will be very thick.
If using, gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, placing them about 2 inches apart. You can gently press the tops down slightly if you prefer a flatter cookie.
Bake for 10 to 13 minutes. The edges should look set, but the centers will still look slightly soft.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. They will firm up as they cool.
Notes
For a chewier cookie, slightly underbake them by one minute.
If your dough seems too stiff to scoop, add 1 teaspoon of water or milk at a time until it is manageable.
For peanut butter swirl cookies, mix 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter with 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar. Drop spoonfuls of the brownie dough, top with a small dollop of the peanut butter mixture, and swirl gently with a toothpick before baking.
This recipe works best with mixes labeled as ‘fudgy’ rather than ‘cakey’ for the best texture.
