Ingredients You’ll Need
Makes 18–24 cookies
- 1 box (16–19 oz) brownie mix (choose your favorite brand)

- ½ cup chocolate chips
- ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) . Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2: Make the Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, and oil. Stir until a thick, sticky dough forms.
- If desired, fold in chocolate chips, nuts, or sprinkles for added texture and flavor.
Step 3: Scoop & Shape
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out dough into 1–2 tablespoon-sized balls.
- Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 4: Flatten the Dough
- Gently press down on each ball with the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to flatten slightly (they won’t spread much during baking).
Step 5: Bake
- Bake for 8–10 minutes , until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
