Chocolate Brownie Cookies How To Make Brownie Mix Cookies Like A Pro
Turn any store-bought brownie mix into irresistibly chewy, chocolate-packed cookies with crisp edges and fudgy centers. This shortcut recipe delivers homemade taste with minimal effort, making it perfect for beginner bakers, busy parents, or anyone craving a decadent chocolate treat in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix (about 18–19 oz)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the brownie mix, flour, oil, and eggs until a thick dough forms.
- Fold in chocolate chips if using.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
-
Chilling the dough before baking results in thicker cookies with less spread.
-
Use parchment paper or a silicone mat to ensure even baking and easy cleanup.
-
Customize with nuts, caramel chips, or a sprinkle of sea salt for extra flavor.
-
For vegan or gluten-free versions, choose compatible brownie mixes and make standard swaps like flax eggs or dairy-free butter.
-
Cookies will continue baking on the sheet after removing from the oven—don’t wait for them to look fully baked in the oven.
