You only need three ingredients and 20 minutes to make chewy, decadent chocolate cookies. It couldn’t be easier thanks to a clever shortcut ingredient.

Ingredients

  • ½ cupunsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 largeegg
  • 1box brownie mix, preferably ghiradelli’s
  • ⅓ cupdark or semi-sweet chocolate chips, optional
  • flaky salt, for finishing, optional

Directions

  1. 1

    Arrange oven racks in the top third and bottom third of the oven. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Add the melted butter to a medium mixing bowl. It should be slightly warm, not hot. Add the egg and stir thoroughly to combine. Add the brownie mix and stir until no noticeable pockets of the dry mix remain.

  3. 3

    Use a medium cookie scoop or heaping tablespoon to dole the batter out in 1 1/2 tablespoon mounds at least 2 inches apart. I can fit 6 cookies per half sheet pan. For extra special cookies, gently press 3 or 4 chocolate chips in the top of each and sprinkle with flaky salt.

  4. 4

    Bake until the centers of the cookies are shiny but not wet, 11 to 12 minutes, swapping the pans top to bottom mid-bake. Let cool for a few minutes before using a thin metal spatula to transfer the cookies to a cooling rack. Repeat with any remaining dough. Enjoy warm or room temperature. Love the recipe?
