Ingredients:
-
1 package of dark chocolate or fudge brownie mix
-
1 ¼ cups of all purpose flour
-
¼ cup of packed light brown sugar
-
2 eggs
-
1 stick, or 8 tablespoons, of butter, melted and cooled
-
4 tablespoons of cold water
-
1 cup dark or semisweet chocolate chunks or chips
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease 2 baking sheets – the recipe makes about 3 ½ sheets of cookies, so be prepared to bake 2 to 4 rounds of cookies, depending on the size of your oven or baking sheets.
Whisk together flour, brownie mix, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl.
Stir in eggs one at a time with a wooden spoon.
Stir in butter and water – the batter will be more like a dough.
Fold in the chocolate chips!
Drop generous tablespoonfuls of doughy batter on greased baking sheets, about 3 inches apart. Flatten the tops slightly.
Bake for 13 minutes. Remove from oven, and allow the cookies to finish cooking for 2 minutes on the sheet. Transfer to a cooling rack with a spatula, or eat straight from the baking sheet!
