Ah, brownie mix cookies—all the fudgy goodness of brownies in a handheld cookie form 🍪🍫. Here’s a foolproof way to make them:
Brownie Mix Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix (any brand, ~18–20 oz)
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 2–4 tbsp water (optional, depending on mix)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional but adds depth)
- Optional add-ins: chocolate chips, nuts, or caramel bits
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- In a bowl, mix brownie mix, eggs, oil, and vanilla until combined. Batter will be thicker than typical brownie batter—almost dough-like.
- Scoop tablespoons of batter onto the sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
- Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges are set but centers are soft. Don’t overbake—they continue to firm up as they cool.
- Let cool on the pan 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Tips
- Fudgy cookies: slightly underbake (soft center).
- Crispy edges: flatten dough slightly and bake a minute or two longer.
- Flavor twist: sprinkle a little sea salt on top before baking.
If you want, I can give a chewy, giant “brookie-style” version that’s even more decadent than the standard brownie cookies. Do you want me to do that?
