Brownie Cookies

Brownie cookies are so great - the yum of brownies, with the convenience of a cookie.  A favorite twist is to place andes mint chips on the cookies fresh out of the oven, then spread them as frosting once they've melted. 

I got the recipe here:  Ghiradelli Brownie Mix Cookies

Ingredients

• 18 ounces brownie mix (you can't beat the Ghiradelli triple chocolate mix)
• 
  
• 3-4 tablespoons whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour , (1/3 cup for high altitude)
• 
  
• 2 large eggs, room temperature (mine are always straight from the refrigerator)
• 
  
• 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted (I just use canola oil)
• 
  
• 1 cup chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, mint chips, or nuts can be mixed-in (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 350°F. In the bowl of a mixer, stir flour into brownie mix until well incorporated. 
2. In a separate bowl, slightly beat eggs with the coconut oil and add to the mix along with any add-ins. Mix on low speed until the flour is moistened. The dough should be stiff like cookie dough.
3. Place the dough in heaping tablespoons (about .80 ounces each) in on a parchment-lined baking sheet; this amount will spread to 2 1/2-inches when baked.
4. Bake for 10 minutes and allow the cookies rest on the pan for 2 minutes after removing from the oven. Remove from the pan and cool on baking racks.

Notes

Recipe TIPS:

• If you're a fan of the chewy edge pieces lining a pan of brownies, you'll want to follow the cooking time of the recipe just as it's written.
• If you're more of the gooey middle brownie lover, reduce the baking time by 1 minute and see if that is closer to the brownie cookie you dream about.
• Any 18 ounce brownie mix should work for this recipe, though I highly recommend Ghirardelli.
• One 18 ounce mix will make 3 1/2 dozen, 2 1/2-inch cookies based on .80 ounces of dough per cookie.
• High altitude baking: add 1 to 2 tablespoons more flour (about 1/3 cup)
• Make ahead tip: Bake as directed and freeze for up to 3 months.
