Preparation Instructions:
Preheat & Prep:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
Mix: In a large bowl,
combine the brownie mix and the all-purpose flour.
Add the 2 eggs and 1/4 cup of vegetable oil. Stir with a spoon or spatula until a thick, stiff dough forms.
Add Chips: Fold in the 1 cup of chocolate chips (if using).
Scoop: Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Space them about 2 inches apart, as they will spread slightly.
Bake: Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
Important:
Do not overbake! The edges should be set, but the centers should still look slightly soft and underdone. They will firm up as they cool.
Cool: Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for at least 5–10 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Pro Tips:
For Extra Shine: If you want that classic “crackly” brownie top, make sure your eggs are at room temperature before mixing.
Storage:
Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to keep them fudgy.
