Tips & Tricks

Plate of fudgy brownie cookies made from boxed brownie mix, stacked on a white plate with a blue rim, sitting on a marbled kitchen counter.

For softer cookies, bake them for about 8 minutes. This ensures they remain chewy.
If you want to mix it up, consider using peanut butter chips or white chocolate chips instead of semisweet chocolate chips.
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. This keeps them fresh longer.
To freeze, place cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a zip-top bag. They will last up to three months.
For a richer flavor, use milk or dark chocolate chips rather than semisweet.
