Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 box fudge brownie mix (for a 13×9-inch pan size)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1 tbsp water
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup pastel-colored candy-coated chocolate eggs (e.g., Cadbury mini eggs)
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- Optional: Sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, flour, eggs, oil, water, and vanilla extract. Mix until a thick dough forms.
- Add Chocolate Goodness:
- Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and half of the candy-coated chocolate eggs. Reserve the remaining eggs for topping.
- Shape the Cookies:
- Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie and roll into balls. Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Slightly flatten each ball with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon.
- Decorate the Cookies:
- Press 2–3 of the reserved candy-coated chocolate eggs into the top of each cookie. Add sprinkles for a festive touch, if desired.
- Bake the Cookies:
- Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly soft. Do not overbake!
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra chewiness, underbake slightly and let the cookies firm up as they cool.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
