Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix (about 18–20 oz / 510–566 g)
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) vegetable oil
- 1/8 cup (2 tbsp / about 15 g) all-purpose flour
- Optional: 1/2–3/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and all-purpose flour.
- Stir or whisk until everything is fully combined and no dry pockets of mix remain. The batter will be thick and sticky.
- If using nuts, gently fold them into the batter until evenly distributed.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches (5 cm) apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 9 minutes, or until the tops are set, shiny, and slightly crackly around the edges.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes to firm up.
- Carefully transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let them cool completely or enjoy warm for extra gooey centers.
