Combine ingredients for batter: Add the melted butter to a medium mixing bowl. It should be slightly warm, not hot. Add the egg and stir thoroughly to combine. Add the brownie mix and stir until no noticeable pockets of the dry mix remain.

Shape cookies and add optional toppings: Use a medium cookie scoop or heaping tablespoon to dole the batter out in 1 1/2 tablespoon mounds at least 2 inches apart. I can fit 6 cookies per half sheet pan. For extra special cookies, gently press 3 or 4 chocolate chips in the top of each and sprinkle with flaky salt.

Bake: Bake until the centers of the cookies are shiny but not wet, 11 to 12 minutes, swapping the pans top to bottom mid-bake. Let cool for a few minutes before using a thin metal spatula to transfer the cookies to a cooling rack. Repeat with any remaining dough. Enjoy warm or room temperature.
