- 1 box (about 18–19 oz / 510–540 g) brownie mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) vegetable oil
- 1 cup (170 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- 1. Preheat and prepare baking sheets
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- 2. Mix the dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Mix until a thick, sticky dough forms.
- 3. Add chocolate chips
- Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- 4. Portion the cookies
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- 5. Bake the cookies
- Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked.
- 6. Cool
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
For a little extra texture and nuttiness, try adding 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans to the dough. Keep an eye on your cookies as baking times can vary slightly depending on your oven, and avoid overbaking to maintain the chewy center. Cookies will firm up as they cool on the wire rack.

Recipe FAQs
- → How do I keep the cookies chewy?
To maintain chewiness, bake until the edges are set but centers remain slightly underbaked. Cooling on the baking sheet helps finish setting while preserving softness.
- → Can I add nuts to the dough?
Yes, mixing in chopped walnuts or pecans adds enjoyable crunch and enhances flavor without changing the core texture.
- → What chocolate chips work best?
Semi-sweet chocolate chips work well, but feel free to substitute milk or dark varieties depending on your taste preference.
- → Is it necessary to use vegetable oil?
Vegetable oil helps create a moist, tender crumb, but alternatives like melted butter can be used for a richer flavor.
- → How should I store leftovers?
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days; refrigeration can extend freshness but may slightly firm the texture.
