Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix (any variety)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (or nuts of your choice)
- 1/4 cup M&Ms or mini marshmallows (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the brownie mix, all-purpose flour, and salt until evenly combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the vegetable oil, add the two large eggs and vanilla extract, then stir thoroughly until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
- Fold in Mix-ins: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, and if using, the M&Ms or mini marshmallows for extra texture and flavor.
- Form Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are set and lightly firm but the centers remain soft and slightly gooey.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely and set.
Notes
- You can swap walnuts for any nuts you prefer, or omit them for a nut-free version.
- M&Ms or mini marshmallows are optional but add great color and texture to the cookies.
- Check cookies at 8 minutes to avoid overbaking; the centers should remain soft.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For extra fudginess, slightly underbake and cool completely before serving.
