Ingredients You’ll Need for Brownie Mix Cookies
- 1 (20 oz) box Ghirardelli brownie mix
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (mini chocolate chips or regular semi-sweet chocolate chips)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s make it together! These simple steps will guide you through creating your new favorite cookie.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, ready for the magic to happen.
- In a large bowl, mix together the brownie mix, flour, vegetable oil, and eggs. I love to use a hand mixer for this, but you can just as easily stir it all together with a wooden spoon until everything is combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, giving your cookie dough that extra sprinkle of sweetness.
- Using a 2-tablespoon-sized cookie scoop, scoop the dough onto your prepared baking sheet, spacing each ball about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look delightfully doughy. You’ll want to keep an eye on them; the smell will be irresistible!
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them sit on the baking sheet for 3 minutes to firm up before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Fun Ways to Customize It
- Add a Flavor Twist: Incorporate a teaspoon of vanilla extract for an extra layer of warmth, or a pinch of espresso powder to deepen the chocolate flavor.
- Nutty Surprise: Stir in some chopped walnuts or pecans for a delightful crunch and nutty richness.
- Seasonal Delights: Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg during the fall months for a cozy seasonal flair.
- Indulgent Toppings: Top your cookies with a drizzle of melted chocolate or a sprinkle of sea salt for that gourmet touch!
Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips
- Make-Ahead Advice: These cookies can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for up to a week (if they last that long!).
- Ingredient Swaps: If you’re out of vegetable oil, melted coconut oil works wonderfully too!
- Storage Suggestions: Store leftover cookies in a tightly sealed container at room temperature to keep them chewy and fresh.
- Slicing Tricks: For perfectly uniform cookies, use a cookie scoop—the results will be perfectly shaped and evenly baked treats.
