- Cocoa powder: this helps give that rich, fudgy flavor to your cookies.

Make them extra pretty: for bake worthy-cookies, I usually add a few chocolate chips on top of the cookies right as they come out of the oven. You can also sprinkle them with flay sea salt for a more profesh look.
Mix up the Chips: If your brownie mix does not have chocolate chips, or even if it does, have some fun and add your favorite chocolate chips! Add some white chocolate chips, chocolate chinks, milk chocolate chips, or even peanut butter chips.
