Cost: $6

Ingredients

  • 1 (16-18 ounce) box brownie mix (see notes)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup (31g) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup Mix-ins (see notes)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Place brownie mix in a large bowl. Add eggs, flour, and oil. Mix until a thick batter forms.
  • Mix in your optional mix-ins (up to 1 cup total).
  • Scoop 2 tablespoon sized balls of cookie dough 3-inches apart on prepared cookie sheets.
  • Bake chilled cookies for 8-12 minutes, until they just loose their glossy sheen.
  • Betty Crocker Brand: This is a 16.3 ounce box and the recipe can be made as written.
  • Pillsbury and Duncan Hines Brands: These are 18.4 ounce boxes. Both produce a bit thicker of dough. If you're struggling to incorporate all the dry ingredients add 1 tablespoon of water, but you don't have to. I've tried it both ways and both ways work.

Notes

  • Yield depends on what your mix-ins are. No mix-ins makes about 20 (2 tablespoon size) cookies.
  • You can use melted butter in place of vegetable or canola oil.
  • Mix In Options:
    • 1 cup chopped nuts (approx 106g)
    • 1 cup chocolate chips (170g)
    • 1 cup chopped candy (i.e. Reese's Pieces) or M&Ms 
    • Anything you like - as long as it's only 1 cup
  • Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature or freeze for several months.
