Description
Brownie Mix Cookies are the ultimate quick and easy dessert—fudgy like a brownie, chewy like a cookie, and made with just a few pantry ingredients. Using a boxed brownie mix, these cookies come together in under 20 minutes and deliver rich, chocolatey goodness with crisp edges and gooey centers.
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix (18–20 oz)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp water (optional, to loosen dough)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or mix-ins (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix dough: In a mixing bowl, combine brownie mix, flour, eggs, and oil. Stir until a thick dough forms. If the dough is too stiff, add 1 tbsp of water.
- Add mix-ins: Fold in chocolate chips, nuts, or other desired mix-ins.
- Scoop: Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto prepared baking sheet, spacing them a couple inches apart.
- Bake: Bake for 8–10 minutes, just until edges are set and centers look slightly underbaked.
- Cool: Let cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
-
Don’t overbake—slightly underdone centers give the best fudgy texture.
-
Flatten dough balls slightly before baking for a wider cookie.
-
Sprinkle with flaky sea salt before baking for a gourmet twist.
-
Chill dough for thicker cookies or to prep ahead of time.
