🍫 Easy Brownie Mix Cookies

Ingredients (makes about 18–24 cookies):

• 1 (18–19 oz) box brownie mix (any brand, fudge-style recommended)

• 2 large eggs

• 1/4 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter for richer cookies)

• 1 tbsp water (optional, for slightly softer texture)

• Optional add-ins:

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans)

  • A pinch of sea salt for topping

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.

2. Mix dough:
   In a medium bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, oil, and (optional) water. Stir until fully combined and thick — the dough will be sticky.

3. Add extras:
   Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if using.

4. Scoop cookies:
   Drop rounded tablespoons or use a cookie scoop to place dough onto the baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.

5. Bake:
   Bake for 8–10 minutes, until edges are set but centers still look slightly soft. (Do not overbake — they’ll firm up as they cool.)

6. Cool:
   Let cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

🍪 Tips:

• For extra crackly tops, let the dough sit for 5–10 minutes before scooping.

• Add a sprinkle of flaky salt before baking for a sweet-salty bite.

• Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
