Ingredients
Scale
- 1 standard box brownie mix (about 18.3 oz / 520 g)
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (about 85 g)
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar (optional, about 25 g)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (about 90 g)
- Pinch of sea salt flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the large egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
- Gradually stir the entire box of brownie mix into the wet ingredients until a thick, fudgy dough forms.
- Fold in ½ cup of chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, place small mounds about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Slightly flatten each cookie with the back of the spoon.
- Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes on top of each cookie.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, watching closely around the 9-minute mark until edges look set and slightly crisp but centers remain soft.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to firm up.
Notes
If cookies spread too much, chill the dough for 15 minutes before scooping. Avoid overbaking to keep centers chewy. Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and even baking. Adding a pinch of sea salt on top enhances chocolate flavor. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil or vegan butter. For gluten-free, use a gluten-free brownie mix.
