Brownie Mix Cookies – The Easiest, Fudgiest Cookies You’ll Ever Make!
If you’re dreaming of cookies that are chewy like a brownie, rich like a fudge cake, and ridiculously easy to make—this recipe is your chocolate dream come true! With just a few pantry ingredients and one box of brownie mix, you can whip up a batch of ultra-fudgy cookies in under 30 minutes. No mixers, no chill time, no complicated steps.
Whether you’re baking for a party, a quick dessert craving, or just want something sweet to pair with your coffee—these brownie mix cookies deliver every single time. And yes, they’re even better with chocolate chips.
Ingredients:
Just five ingredients stand between you and warm, gooey cookie perfection:
- 1 box (18 oz) brownie mix (your favorite brand)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter for richer flavor)
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional, but highly recommended for chocoholics!)
Equipment You’ll Need:
- Mixing bowl
- Spoon or rubber spatula
- Cookie scoop or tablespoon
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
2. Make the Dough
In a large bowl, combine:
- Brownie mix
- Flour
- Eggs
- Vegetable oil
Stir until everything is well incorporated and forms a thick, sticky dough. It might feel stiffer than typical cookie dough—this is normal!
3. Add the Chocolate Chips
Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips if you’re using them. This takes the cookies from good to irresistible with gooey chocolate pockets in every bite.
4. Scoop the Cookies
Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to portion out dough balls. Place them 2 inches apart on your lined baking sheet—these cookies will spread slightly.
5. Bake
Bake for 9 to 11 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when the edges are set but the centers still look soft. Don’t overbake—they’ll continue to firm up as they cool.
6. Cool & Enjoy
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2–3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling (or eat one warm—we won’t judge).
Optional Add-Ins:
- Chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
- Peanut butter chips
- Crushed pretzels
- A sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking
- A marshmallow in the center for s’mores vibes
Tips for Perfect Brownie Cookies:
- Chill the dough for 15–20 minutes if it feels too soft to scoop—it’ll help control spread.
- Want a shiny, crackly top like classic brownies? Beat the eggs and oil together before mixing into the dry ingredients.
- Don’t overmix or overbake—these cookies are best slightly underdone in the center!
Storage:
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Freeze baked cookies for up to 3 months. Just pop one in the microwave for 10–15 seconds to bring it back to life!
