Make quick, chewy chocolate cookies using just a box of brownie mix. This simple recipe delivers rich, fudgy flavor with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (about 18.3 ounces) of your favorite brownie mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the entire box of brownie mix, the 2 eggs, and the vegetable oil. Mix with a spoon or electric mixer until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. If using, stir in the chocolate chips.
  4. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. You can lightly press the tops down if you prefer a flatter cookie.
  5. Bake for 9 to 12 minutes. The edges should look set, but the center will still look slightly soft.
  6. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a chewier cookie, slightly reduce the baking time. For a slightly cake-like texture, bake for the full 12 minutes.
  • You can add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the dough for extra crunch.
  • To make these cookies extra fudgy, substitute the vegetable oil with melted butter.
