Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F)and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Mix the dough: In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix and flour.Add the eggs and oil, then mix until you get a thick, sticky dough.
- Add extras: Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if using.
- Shape the cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them on the tray, leaving space between each one.
- Bake: Bake for 8–10 minutes. The edges should be set, but the center still soft.
- Cool: Let them cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring. They will firm up slightly while staying soft inside.
Don’t overbake—this keeps them fudgy like brownies.Chill the dough for 15 minutes if it’s too sticky.Sprinkle a little sea salt on top before baking for a gourmet touch.For thicker cookies, use less oil or add a bit more flour.
