Then press several chocolate chips into the top of each cookie. Bake at 350°F for 8 to 11 minutes. The center should look slightly undercooked, but the edges should be well set.

Best Brookie Recipe Add-Ins
This brownie mix cookies recipe makes an indulgent treat as-is… But don’t stop there! If you are feeling extra extra you can swap regular choco chips or mix in any of these ingredients:
Flavored baking chips – dark chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, mint chips, peanut butter chips, or butterscotch chips Chopped nuts – peanuts, walnuts, almonds, pecans Candy pieces – small candies like mini M&Ms or mini peanut butter cups, chopped candy bars, or sprinkles Additional goodies – shredded coconut, dried cherries, espresso powder, or other dried and chopped fruits
Tips & Tricks
Don’t over mix! The batter should be mixed just until everything is combined, and not any more. Over mixing can cause dense brownie cookies! Don’t over bake! Especially with chocolate cookies, it can be hard to tell if the cookie is done. Take them out when they still look a little underdone and glossy, and they will finish cooking and firm up on the hot baking sheet and make the best fudgy brownie cookies! Make brownie cookie sandwiches by spreading some store-bought or homemade vanilla buttercream in the middle of two cookies!
