Brownie Mix Cookies Recipe
Transform a box of brownie mix into irresistibly chewy, fudgy cookies with this simple recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix (standard size, 18–20 oz)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter for a richer taste)
- Optional mix-ins: ½ cup chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or candy pieces
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir until the mixture is well blended and resembles thick cookie dough.
- If desired, fold in your chosen mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or candies.
- Scoop and Shape
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each scoop. Use a cookie scoop or a spoon for uniform-sized cookies.
- Bake the Cookies
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are set while the centers remain slightly soft. (The cookies will continue to set as they cool.)
- Cool Down
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve and Store
- Enjoy your rich, chewy cookies fresh! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips for Success
- Flavor Boost: Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a tablespoon of espresso powder to intensify the chocolate flavor.
- Sea Salt Finish: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie before baking for a sweet-and-salty twist.
- Mix-In Ideas: Customize your cookies with white chocolate chips, toffee bits, dried fruits, or even peanut butter swirls.
