Ingredients

• 1 box (about 18–20 oz / 500–550 g) brownie mix
• 2 large eggs
• 1/3 cup (80 ml) vegetable oil

Instructions

1. Preheat and prepare baking sheets

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.

2. Mix the dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir with a spoon or spatula until a thick, glossy dough forms and all dry mix is incorporated.

3. Shape the cookies

Scoop heaping tablespoonfuls of dough and roll into balls. Place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

4. Create crinkle tops

For extra crinkle tops, gently press the tops of the dough balls with your fingers or the back of a spoon.

5. Bake

Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.

6. Cool

Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Achten Sie darauf, die Cookies nicht zu lange zu backen, um die fudgy Textur in der Mitte zu bewahren. Die Backzeit variiert je nach Ofen, daher sind 9 bis 11 Minuten ideal. Vor dem Backen sanft mit den Fingerspitzen die Oberseite der Teigkugeln andrücken, um attraktive Knitterfalten zu erzeugen.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Für eine extra reichhaltige Note können Sie vor dem Backen 1/2 Tasse (90 g) Schokoladenstückchen oder gehackte Nüsse unter den Teig heben. Statt Pflanzenöl lässt sich auch geschmolzenes Kokosöl verwenden, um ein leichtes Aroma zu erzielen. Eine Prise Meersalz auf den Teigkugeln sorgt für einen besonderen Gourmet-Touch.

Serviervorschläge

Diese Brownie Mix Cookies passen hervorragend zu einem Glas kalter Milch oder einer Kugel Vanilleeis. Sie eignen sich ideal als schneller Snack, Dessert auf Partys oder einfach zum Teilen mit Freunden und Familie.
