Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 18oz box brownie mix (I used Ghirardelli)
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips, plus more for topping
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix Dough: In a large bowl, use a paddle attachment or a spoon to stir together the brownie mix, all-purpose flour, eggs, melted coconut oil, water, and vanilla extract until a thick, scoopable dough forms.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips last. If the dough feels too sticky, allow it to rest for 5 minutes to thicken slightly for easier handling.
- Form Cookies: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and place them spaced apart on the prepared baking sheet, as they will spread a bit during baking.
- Top with Chips: Press a few additional chocolate chips on top of each cookie to give them an appealing, chocolatey finish.
- Bake Cookies: Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft and fudgy as they will firm up while cooling.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes to set further, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Letting the dough rest if sticky will help prevent overworking and make shaping easier.
- Do not overbake; the centers should remain soft as they firm up while cooling.
- You can substitute coconut oil with melted butter if preferred for a different flavor profile.
- Using mini chocolate chips ensures even distribution throughout the cookie dough.
