Brownie Mix Cookies

These Brownie Mix Cookies are the easiest and quickest way to satisfy your chocolate cravings. With just a few simple ingredients, you’ll have soft, fudgy cookies in under 30 minutes!

Ingredients:

  • 1 box of Pillsbury Brownie Mix (or any other brownie mix you like—just make sure it’s a fudge or brownie mix, not cake mix)
  • 2.5 tablespoons flour (this helps give the dough more structure and makes it scoopable)
  • 1/3 cup melted butter (adds richness and that perfect chewy texture)
  • 2 eggs (binds the dough together and makes the cookies soft)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (optional, but highly recommended for extra chocolatey goodness!)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.

2. Mix the Dough:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, flour, melted butter, and eggs. Stir until a thick dough forms. The dough will be somewhat sticky, but that’s perfect for that fudgy texture we love in brownie cookies.

3. Add the Chocolate Chips:

  • Fold in the chocolate chips (or other mix-ins like nuts or white chocolate chips if you want to switch it up).

4. Scoop the Dough:

  • Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out dough and roll it into balls. Place the dough balls onto your prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. They’ll spread a little while baking, so give them room to breathe!

5. Bake:

  • Bake the cookies in your preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. Check around 8 minutes—when the edges are set and the centers look a little soft, they’re done. They may look slightly undercooked in the middle, but don’t worry! They’ll firm up as they cool, and the result will be perfectly chewy and fudgy.

6. Cool and Enjoy:

  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This ensures they don’t fall apart and are just the right texture when you bite into them!

Q&A:

Q: Can I use a different brand of brownie mix?
A: Yes! You can definitely use a different brownie mix if you have a favorite. Just make sure it’s a fudge-style brownie mix (not cake mix) for that dense, chewy texture.

Q: Can I make these cookies without chocolate chips?
A: Absolutely! If you prefer a less chocolatey cookie or want to try something different, you can leave the chocolate chips out. You could even add nuts, dried fruit, or marshmallows for a fun twist!

Q: What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
A: If your dough feels too sticky to scoop, you can chill it in the fridge for 15-30 minutes. This will help firm it up and make it easier to work with.

Q: Can I freeze the cookie dough?
A: Yes! You can scoop the dough into balls, place them on a baking sheet to freeze for about 1 hour, and then transfer them to an airtight container or ziplock bag. When you’re ready to bake, just pop them in the oven directly from the freezer—just add a minute or two to the baking time.

Benefits of This Recipe:

  1. Quick & Easy:
    This recipe takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish—perfect for a last-minute craving or when you need to bake something in a hurry!
  2. Chewy Brownie Texture:
    The combination of brownie mix and flour creates a cookie that’s fudgy and soft, just like a brownie. It’s the best of both worlds!
  3. Customizable:
    The recipe is super flexible. Add in your favorite mix-ins, like peanut butter chips, toffee, or crushed Oreos, for a fun twist.
  4. Minimal Ingredients:
    You only need a few pantry staples to make these cookies—most of the ingredients are already in your kitchen!
  5. Kid-Friendly:
    This recipe is easy to follow, making it a great baking project for kids or beginner bakers. They’ll love scooping the dough and popping the chocolate chips in.

Pro Tips:

  • Don’t Overbake: To keep your cookies soft and chewy, make sure not to overbake them. They should still look a little soft in the center when you take them out. They’ll continue to cook on the baking sheet as they cool.
  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: If you can, make sure your butter is softened to room temperature and your eggs are at room temperature as well. This helps the dough come together more smoothly and makes for more even baking.
  • For a Gooey Center: If you love a super gooey, brownie-like center, underbake them by about a minute or two. The cookies will firm up as they cool but still have that fudgy texture inside.

Conclusion:

These Brownie Mix Cookies are so easy to make, yet so full of flavor and decadence. The chewy texture, rich chocolate taste, and versatility make them the perfect cookie for any occasion. Plus, with the option to add or skip chocolate chips (or try other mix-ins), you can make them exactly how you want!
