Instructions

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. -
Mix the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix and flour. Add the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until a thick, sticky dough forms. -
Add Mix-Ins (Optional)
Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if using. -
Scoop the Cookies
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie. -
Bake
Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Do not overbake for fudgy cookies. -
Cool
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
