🛒 Ingredients (Makes 12–14 Cookies)

1 box (18 oz / 500 g) brownie mix
1 large egg
¼ cup (60 ml) vegetable oil or melted butter
2–3 tablespoons milk (as needed)
Optional:
- ¼ cup chocolate chips
- ¼ cup chopped nuts
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2️⃣ Prepare the Dough

In a large bowl:

Combine the brownie mix and optional vanilla.
Add egg and oil.
Mix until thick and glossy.

If the dough is too stiff, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk until it reaches cookie dough consistency.

Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if using.

3️⃣ Shape the Cookies

Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Space cookies 2 inches apart.

For thicker cookies, gently flatten slightly; for thinner, leave round.

4️⃣ Bake

Bake for 9–11 minutes.

The centers should look slightly soft — they will firm as they cool. Avoid overbaking for a fudgy texture.

5️⃣ Cool

Allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the sheet before transferring to a wire rack.

Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container.

🔥 Tips for Perfect Brownie Cookies

Use high-quality brownie mix for richer flavor.
Slight underbaking keeps them fudgy.
Stir gently to avoid dense cookies.
For extra flavor, add a pinch of sea salt on top before baking.

🍫 Flavor Variations

Peanut Butter Chocolate: Fold in 2 tablespoons peanut butter.
Mint Chocolate: Add ½ teaspoon peppermint extract.
Espresso Boost: Add 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder.
White Chocolate & Macadamia: Swap chocolate chips for white chocolate and nuts.

🥡 Storage

Room temperature: 3–4 days in an airtight container.

Warm briefly in the microwave for that fresh-baked taste.
