Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Add the brownie mix and chocolate chips. Fold gently until just combined—don’t overmix.
- Drop rounded tablespoonfuls onto the prepared sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Baking
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges look set and the centers no longer jiggle.
