Method
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, crack in your two large eggs. Add the 1/2 cup of vegetable oil and the 1/4 cup of water. Stir in the 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk these wet ingredients together until they are thoroughly combined and slightly emulsified.2 large eggs, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1/4 cup water, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pour the entire contents of the 18.3-ounce box of Betty Crocker Original Supreme Brownie Mix into the bowl with the wet ingredients.1 box Betty Crocker Original Supreme Brownie Mix
- Using a sturdy spoon or a spatula, begin to mix the brownie mix into the wet ingredients. Continue mixing until just combined and no dry streaks of brownie mix remain. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tougher cookies. The dough will be thick and fudgy, similar to brownie batter.
- If you're using chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or any other desired add-ins, gently fold them into the cookie dough now. Distribute them evenly throughout the mixture.1 cup chocolate chips, chopped nuts or sprinkles
- Drop rounded tablespoons of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Aim for about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter for each cookie. Leave about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are set and the centers appear slightly soft. They will continue to cook slightly on the baking sheet after being removed from the oven.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This step is crucial for allowing the cookies to firm up and achieve their perfect chewy texture.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. Freeze baked cookies for up to 2-3 months. Microwave for 10-15 seconds for a warm treat.
