Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 18.3 oz box Fudge Brownie Mix
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup chocolate chips (preferably dark chocolate)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix dough: In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir the ingredients together until a soft dough forms, being careful not to overmix.
- Add chocolate chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the dough to evenly distribute them throughout.
- Form cookies: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop 1 to 1.5-inch thick dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Optional topping: For extra chocolate richness, you can add a few extra chocolate chips on top of each dough ball before baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for about 10 minutes. Check to see if the cookies have set; if not, bake for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until firm but still soft in the center.
- Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for approximately 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- You can substitute vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
- Dark chocolate chips are preferred, but milk or semi-sweet chips will also work.
- Do not overbake; cookies should remain soft and fudgy.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- For a nutty twist, consider adding chopped nuts to the dough.
