Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/3 cup oil (canola or vegetable)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 egg yolk

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cups white granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch process)

Additional Mix-ins

  • 1 cup monster cookie mix (assorted colorful chocolate candies, pretzels, chocolate chips, and oatmeal cookie pieces)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the brownies.
  2. Melt Butter: In a saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter until just liquefied. Allow it to cool slightly.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, oil, and vanilla extract. Add the eggs and egg yolk one at a time, beating well after each addition to achieve a smooth mixture.
  4. Add Sugar: Gradually stir in the white granulated sugar into the wet mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.
  5. Sift Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour and unsweetened cocoa powder to avoid lumps and ensure an even chocolate flavor.
  6. Mix Dry into Wet: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to over mix, which can cause tough brownies.
  7. Add Monster Cookie Mix: Carefully fold in your monster cookie mix (chocolate candies, pretzels, chocolate chips, and oatmeal cookies) to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
  8. Pour and Spread: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs for fudgy brownies.
  10. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares to serve. This helps them set and enhances the fudgy texture.

Notes

  • Use Dutch process cocoa for a richer, less acidic chocolate flavor.
  • Consider chilling the batter for 15 minutes before baking to reduce spreading and improve texture.
  • Substitute vegetable oil with melted coconut oil for a light coconut undertone.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for longer storage.
  • For extra gooey brownies, slightly underbake by a couple of minutes and let them cool completely.
