🧰 Equipment Needed

• Mixing bowl
• Whisk or spoon
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Cookie scoop
• Cooling rack

🛒 Ingredients

• 1 box (18–20 oz) brownie mix (any brand)
• 2 large eggs
• ¼ cup melted butter or ¼ cup vegetable oil
• Optional mix-ins:
  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • ½ cup chopped nuts
  • ½ teaspoon espresso powder
  • Flaky sea salt
  • Mini marshmallows (for rocky road)

👩‍🍳 Directions

Step 1: Preheat Oven

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

Step 2: Mix the Dough

In a large bowl, combine:

• brownie mix
• eggs
• melted butter or oil

Stir until a thick, sticky dough forms.
(It will look thicker than actual brownie batter — this is correct!)

Fold in chocolate chips or other add-ins if desired.

Step 3: Scoop & Shape

Scoop dough into rounded tablespoons.
Place on the baking sheet 2 inches apart.

For cleaner edges, slightly flatten the tops with damp fingers.

Step 4: Bake

Bake for 8–10 minutes.

Cookies will look soft and slightly underbaked — they firm up as they cool.

Let them sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
