Ingredients

1 box brownie mix (18.3 oz)
1 large eggs
1/4 c. water
3 Tbsp canola oil
1/2 c. sweetened coconut flakes
3/4 c. almonds divided
3/4 c. white chocolate chips divided
1/2 c. milk or dark chocolate

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together brownie mix, egg, water and oil until combined. Fold in coconut flakes, 1/2 cup almonds, and 1/4 cup white chocolate chips.
Using a large cookie scoop, drop "cookie dough" onto the prepared baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cookies are set. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Once the cookies have cooled, melt the remaining 1/2 cup white chocolate chips and dark chocolate in separate bowls in the microwave (in 30 second increments until fully melted).
Spoon white and dark chocolate into 2 ziptop bags. Cut off one corner of each of the bags, and pipe melted chocolate over the cookies. Sprinkle with additional sweetened coconut flakes, and decorate with remaining almonds and/or chocolate chips. Let sit for 30 minutes or until chocolate is set. Enjoy!

Notes

INGREDIENT NOTES

The main ingredient is prepared brownie mix. Look for a mix that is packaged in an 18.3-ounce box.

You don’t need to follow the package instructions – to create a cookie texture, you’ll add a different amount of eggs, water, and oil than what is probably listed on the package. So, disregard those instructions.

STORAGE

Store your cookies in an airtight container, and they will keep for several days at room temperature… if they last that long!
