Main Ingredients
- 1 box Brownie Mix (standard size, about 18–19 oz)
- 1 Egg (room temperature)
- 1/4 cup Butter, melted (or 1/4 cup Oil as a substitute)
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (optional)
- Preheat and Prepare: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Mix the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, egg, melted butter (or oil), sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until you get a smooth, thick dough that holds together well.
- Shape the Cookies: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out dough and roll into balls. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet, slightly flattening the tops for more even baking.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are set but the centers remain soft. They might look a bit underdone, but they’ll firm up as they cool.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This step helps them set properly and keeps them fudgy in the center.
Notes
- Don’t Overmix: Stir just until combined to keep the texture light and chewy.
- Watch Your Oven: Baking times can vary, so keep an eye to avoid overbaking and drying out.
- Room Temperature Eggs: Use eggs that aren’t cold to help everything blend smoothly.
- Chill the Dough: For thicker cookies, refrigerate dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Use Parchment Paper: It prevents sticking and helps cookies bake evenly with a tender bottom.
