Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix (about 18 oz)
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Optional Add-Ins
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or nuts (walnuts, pecans), optional
- Pinch of cinnamon or chili powder (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather all ingredients. Lightly melt the butter until smooth for easy mixing with the brownie mix and sugar.
- Mix the Dough: In a medium bowl, combine the brownie mix, melted butter, granulated sugar, and egg. Stir until the dough comes together evenly. If desired, fold in optional chocolate chips, nuts, or spices gently.
- Shape the Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Space the cookies about 2 inches apart to allow spreading.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are firm and slightly crispy but the centers remain soft.
- Cool and Enjoy: Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely for best texture.
Notes
- Measure brownie mix accurately for consistent results.
- Chill dough for 15–20 minutes if too sticky before shaping.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Remove cookies once edges are firm but centers slightly underbaked for soft texture.
- Add mix-ins moderately to avoid overly heavy cookies.
