🍪 Mediterranean Brownie Mix Cookies
Fudgy like brownies, chewy like cookies, and super easy — just mix, scoop, and bake!
🟡 INGREDIENTS (makes 12–16 cookies)
Base
-
1 box brownie mix (any brand, 18–20 oz / 500–550g)
-
2 large eggs

⅓ cup olive oil (mild/light type)
-
1 tsp vanilla extract

¼ cup chopped walnuts

¼ cup dark chocolate chunks
-
2 tbsp tahini (adds Mediterranean richness – optional)

1 tsp espresso powder (optional, enhances chocolate)

Pinch of sea salt

🟢 INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat Oven

In a bowl combine:

-
Tahini (if using)
Mix until thick and sticky.
Add your nuts, chocolate chunks, or flavor add-ins.
3. Scoop & Shape
-
Scoop tablespoon-sized balls onto the tray.
