Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract.
- Use a spatula or wooden spoon to fold everything together until fully incorporated.
- The dough will be thick, fudgy, and slightly sticky—perfect for that brownie-like texture.
Optional: Fold in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips or chopped nuts if you want extra texture and flavor.
Step 3: Scoop the Cookies
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out small portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Space them about 2 inches apart to allow spreading.
- If you like slightly smaller, bite-sized cookies, use a smaller scoop; just adjust the baking time slightly.
Pro tip: For extra gooey cookies, slightly underbake them—brownie cookies continue to set as they cool.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Place the tray in the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes.
- The cookies should look set on the edges but still soft in the center.
- Avoid overbaking, as this will make them more cake-like and less fudgy.
Step 5: Cool and Enjoy
Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- This allows them to firm up slightly while maintaining a soft, chewy center.
- Enjoy them warm, or store in an airtight container for up to 4–5 days.
Serving tip: Pair these cookies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a glass of cold milk for a decadent treat.
