Ingredients

  • 1 box dark chocolate brownie mix {19.9 ounces}
  • ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chunks {or chips}
  • sprinkle kosher or flaky sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°.
  • Combine brownie mix with flour and whisk until incorporated. Add eggs, vegetable oil and vanilla extract, mix using a hand held mixer {or by hand} to combine the ingredients until you have a thick dough. Add in dark chocolate chunks. Stir in by hand until they are evenly distributed.
  • Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop mounds of dough onto a silicone mat {or parchment} lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the edges are set, they will appear to be a little undercooked but that is alright. OPTIONAL: Once you remove the cookies from the oven sprinkle the top of each cookie with a bit of kosher or flaky sea salt.
  • Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet. Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Add more cookie add-ins for extra flavor and texture. Dark chocolate goes with so many other flavors. Try adding white chocolate chips, shredded coconut, chopped nuts, freeze dried fruit or sprinkles {just to name a few}.
  • Use a dark chocolate chunk or chip with 70% or less cocoa content.  If you use a dark chocolate chip with a high percentage of cocoa they can tend to be slightly bitter.
  • Don't over bake the cookies. Brownie cookies can be hard because it is difficult to determine when they are browning. Do not bake them over 11 minutes and this will ensure that they are not over baked.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet. The residual heat from the baking sheet will continue to slightly bake the cookies and set them up perfectly.
