- 5 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Using a small cookie scoop, drop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake the Cookies
- Bake for 8 minutes, or until the tops have a thin film and are no longer glossy.

- Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container for up to one week.
Tips for the Best Brownie Mix Cookies
