Brownie Mix Cookies

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I’m all about simple desserts, and these Brownie Mix Cookies are a perfect example of how a few ingredients can create something indulgent. The best part is that the dough comes together in no time—just mix, scoop, and bake! The cookies turn out wonderfully fudgy and chewy, with a decadent chocolate flavor. I especially love how easy they are to make, and I can add chocolate chips for extra richness if I’m craving more chocolate. Whether I’m hosting a get-together, looking for a quick treat, or need a chocolate fix, these cookies are always a hit.

Ingredients

• 1 box brownie mix (18–19 oz)

• 2 large eggs

• 1/4 cup vegetable oil

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

• 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

1. I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, I combine the brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and flour. I mix everything together until a thick dough forms.

3. If I want to add extra chocolatey goodness, I stir in the chocolate chips at this point.

4. Using a tablespoon, I scoop portions of the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

5. I bake the cookies for 8–10 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. This gives them that perfect chewy texture.

6. Once baked, I remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 2–3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Variations

I love how adaptable this recipe is! If I want to mix things up, I can add nuts like walnuts or pecans to the dough for a bit of crunch. For a different flavor, I can try a box of blondie mix instead of the brownie mix, or even experiment with different types of chocolate chips, like white chocolate or peanut butter chips. If I’m feeling extra indulgent, I might drizzle some melted chocolate over the top of the cooled cookies.

Storage/Reheating

These cookies keep well for several days. I store them in an airtight container at room temperature, where they stay soft and chewy. If I have leftovers (which is rare!), I can also freeze them. I just pop them in a freezer-safe bag or container and they last for about a month. When I’m ready to enjoy them, I can let them thaw at room temperature or warm them up in the microwave for a few seconds to enjoy them soft and gooey once again.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of oil?

Yes! While vegetable oil works great in this recipe, you can substitute it with canola oil or melted butter for a slightly different flavor.

Can I use a different brownie mix flavor?

Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with different brownie mix flavors, such as peanut butter or marble. The concept remains the same, and the cookies will turn out delicious no matter the flavor.

What if I don’t have parchment paper?

If I don’t have parchment paper, I can grease the baking sheet with a little oil or cooking spray, or even line it with aluminum foil. Just be sure to watch the cookies closely so they don’t stick.

How do I prevent the cookies from spreading too much?

To help the cookies keep their shape, I like to chill the dough for about 10-15 minutes before scooping it onto the baking sheet. This helps prevent them from spreading too much while baking.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes! I can prepare the dough ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When I’m ready to bake, I just scoop and bake as usual.
