Cookies made from brownie mix are rich, chewy, and packed with chocolatey goodness. Instead of baking a pan of brownies, you can make individual cookie portions that are perfect for snacking, gifting, or parties. They’re quick to make, require minimal ingredients, and taste just like your favorite brownies—only in cookie form!
Ingredients
- 1 box (about 18–20 oz) brownie mix
- 1–2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (optional, for stability)
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- ½ cup chocolate chips (optional, for extra gooeyness)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a bowl, combine the eggs and vegetable oil (or melted butter). Whisk until smooth.
3. Combine With Brownie Mix:
Add the brownie mix to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined. If the batter feels too loose, sprinkle in 1–2 tablespoons of flour. Fold in chocolate chips if desired.
4. Scoop Cookies:
Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
5. Bake:
Bake 8–10 minutes. The edges should be set but the centers soft. This ensures a fudgy, brownie-like texture.
6. Cool & Serve:
Allow cookies to cool for 5–10 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Tips for Perfect Brownie Cookies
- Don’t overbake: Fudgy cookies come from slightly underbaking the centers.
- Chill the dough: If it’s too soft, chilling 10–15 minutes helps cookies hold their shape.
- Add mix-ins: Nuts, caramel bits, or white chocolate chips can elevate flavor.
- Sprinkle sea salt: A pinch of flaky salt on top enhances the chocolate flavor.
Variations
- Peanut Butter Brownie Cookies: Drop a small dollop of peanut butter in the center before baking.
- Chocolate Lava Cookies: Add a piece of chocolate in the center for a molten effect.
- Blondie-style Cookies: Use a blonde brownie mix or swap cocoa powder for a vanilla base.
