Ingredients
  

  • 1 box devil's food cake brownie mix (or your favorite chocolate brownie mix)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • 1-2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (optional, for chewier cookies)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet, or dark – your preference!)
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans are classic, optional)

Equipment

  • - Oven
  • Baking Sheets
  • - Parchment Paper
  • Silicone Baking Mats
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Wooden spoon
  • Cookie scoop
  • Wire rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. This step is crucial for easy cleanup and to prevent the cookies from sticking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 2 large eggs and 1/2 cup of vegetable oil (or melted butter) until well combined. Ensure there are no streaks of egg yolk or white.

  3. Add the entire box of devil's food cake brownie mix to the wet ingredients. Stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix at this stage; a few dry streaks are okay.

  4. If you prefer a chewier cookie, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. This helps to firm up the dough slightly and enhance that desirable chewiness.

  5. Gently fold in the 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and the optional 1/4 cup of chopped nuts. Distribute them evenly throughout the dough.

  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. You can use a cookie scoop for uniform size. The dough will be thick and fudgy, almost like brownie batter.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked. They will continue to cook as they cool on the baking sheet. For a softer, fudgier cookie, err on the side of less baking time.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This allows them to set properly.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. Can also be refrigerated or frozen.
