Ah! Brownie mix cookies are an easy way to turn a boxed brownie mix into chewy, fudgy cookies. Here’s a simple, foolproof method:
Ingredients (makes about 24 cookies)
- 1 box (18–20 oz) brownie mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup (75g) vegetable oil or melted butter
- Optional add-ins: chocolate chips, nuts, or a sprinkle of sea salt
Instructions
1. Preheat oven
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Make the cookie dough
- In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, and oil.
- Stir until smooth and uniform.
- Fold in optional add-ins if desired.
3. Scoop cookies
- Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to drop dough onto the baking sheet.
- Leave about 2 inches between cookies—they will spread slightly.
4. Bake
- Bake 9–12 minutes, depending on how fudgy you like them.
- 9–10 minutes: very soft and fudgy
- 11–12 minutes: slightly more set edges
- Do not overbake; cookies will continue to set as they cool.
5. Cool and serve
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- For extra fudgy cookies, chill the dough for 15–20 minutes before baking.
- Sprinkle a little coarse sea salt on top before baking for a gourmet touch.
- These cookies freeze well—just thaw at room temperature.
If you want, I can also give a version with cream cheese swirls that makes them extra rich and decadent, like brownie cheesecake cookies. Do you want me to share that?
