🍫 Cookies Made From Brownie Mix 🍫Ingredients1 box (18 to 19 ounces) brownie mix1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 cup vegetable oil 2 large eggs1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chipsInstructionsStep 1 – Combine the doughIn a large mixing bowl, add the entire box of brownie mix, the flour, vegetable oil, and the two eggs. Stir with a spatula or a wooden spoon until everything is fully combined and a thick, sticky dough forms. Do not use an electric mixer – stirring by hand prevents overmixing.Step 2 – Add chocolate chipsFold in the chocolate chips (if using) until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. The dough will be very thick and fudgy – this is correct.Step 3 – Chill the doughCover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid. Place the dough in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes. Do not skip this step. Chilling is essential to prevent the cookies from spreading into flat, greasy puddles in the oven.Step 4 – Preheat and prepare baking sheetsWhen the dough has almost finished chilling, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.Step 5 – Scoop and shape the doughRemove the dough from the refrigerator. Using a tablespoon-sized cookie scoop or a spoon, portion the dough into balls about 1.5 inches in diameter. Roll each ball gently between your palms to create a smooth, tight ball. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.Step 6 – BakeBake one sheet at a time on the middle oven rack for 9 to 11 minutes. The cookies are done when the edges are set, the tops look cracked and slightly dry, and the centers are still soft. Do not overbake – the cookies will continue to set as they cool.Step 7 – Cool on the baking sheetRemove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the cookies rest on the hot sheet for 5 minutes. This allows them to firm up enough to transfer. After 5 minutes, use a thin spatula to move the cookies to a wire cooling rack. Cool completely before storing.
