Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 box brownie mix (any brand)
1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 large egg
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, but recommended)

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, melted butter, and egg. Stir well until everything is incorporated. The dough should be thick and sticky.
3. Add the Flour: Gradually stir in the flour to thicken the dough, making it more cookie-like.
4. Fold in the Chocolate Chips: Add the chocolate chips to the dough, stirring them in evenly (optional, but adds extra chocolatey goodness).
5. Shape the Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
6. Bake: Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set, but the centers are still soft. Do not overbake, as the cookies will continue to cook on the baking sheet after you remove them from the oven.
7. Cool and Serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
