- Base: 1 box (about 18–20 oz / 500–550 g) brownie mix
- Wet Ingredients: 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) vegetable oil
Instructions
- 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.

- 3. Scoop heaping tablespoonfuls of dough and roll into balls. Place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- 4. For extra crinkle tops, gently press the tops of the dough balls with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
- 5. Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
- 6. 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
Be sure to mix the dough thoroughly but avoid overmixing to maintain the fudgy texture. Pressing the tops of the dough balls before baking helps create those signature crinkled cookie tops that are both visually appealing and delightful to bite into.
