1. Prepare the Crust:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, mix together brownie mix, oil, and eggs until well combined. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
3. Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers are still soft.
4. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
