Brownie mix cookies are such an easy and delicious treat to whip up! They’re essentially cookies made using brownie mix, which gives them that rich, fudgy texture. Here’s a simple recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 box of brownie mix (any type, but fudgy works best)
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, for extra chocolatey goodness)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract (if using). Stir everything together until it’s fully combined. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky, similar to brownie batter.
- Add chocolate chips (optional): If you’re using chocolate chips, fold them into the dough now. You can also add nuts, M&Ms, or other mix-ins if you’d like.
- Scoop the dough: Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. The cookies will spread a little as they bake.
- Bake: Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are set and the centers look slightly soft. (They will firm up as they cool.) If you want them to be extra chewy, take them out closer to 8 minutes. For crispier edges, leave them in for closer to 10 minutes.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- If you like your cookies with a little more texture, you can add 1/4 cup of flour to the dough.
- For a twist, try using a flavored brownie mix (like caramel or mint) or add a handful of toffee bits, chopped Oreos, or even peanut butter chips to the dough!
These brownie mix cookies are a super quick way to satisfy your chocolate cravings. They’re chewy, fudgy, and utterly irresistible!
