Brownie Cookies

I honestly don't remember where I found this recipe, but it's been several years. It's definitely one of my favorites!

NOTE: These are undercooked. I pulled them out too early. Your cookies should NOT be shiny when you pull them out of the oven.

Brownie Cookies
1 package brownie mix (for the big pan--not the 8x8 pan)
1 1/4 c flour
1/4 c packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 stick butter, melted and cooled
2-3 tbsp cold water
1 c chocolate chips

1. Whisk together flour, brownie mix, and brown sugar.
2. Stir in eggs one at a time, followed by butter and water.
3. Fold in chocolate chunks.
4. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
5. Preheat oven to 350 F and grease a cookie sheet.
6. Drop heaping tablespoons and bake for 8-10 minutes.
7. Cool for 2 minutes on sheet before moving.

A few notes about this recipe:

• It's okay if you're butter isn't completely cooled. I usually melt it before I start on anything else and then stick it in the freezer while I work. It's still warm by the time I get to everything else, but it's no harm done. If you melt it without cooling it at all, you might run into a little trouble with your chocolate chips getting too melty.
• Don't use a mixer. This dough is way, way too thick for that.
• These cookies are pretty much done when the top of the cookies is no longer shiny-looking. In my experience, it takes about 11 minutes, but every oven is different.
