These Brownie Mix Cookies are a quick and easy treat! With minimal ingredients and prep, they’re the perfect hybrid between fudgy brownies and chewy cookies. Add powdered sugar for a special touch, and enjoy them fresh out of the oven or cooled.
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix (any brand, 18–20 oz box preferred)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional but recommended for extra decadence)
- Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
- Set your oven to 375°F and grease a cookie sheet or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, vegetable oil, flour, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Mix until everything is just combined—don’t overmix. The dough will be thick and sticky.
- Fold in the chocolate chips if using.
3. Shape the Cookies
- Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Aim for about 1–2 tablespoons of dough per cookie, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
4. Bake the Cookies
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. The cookies will look slightly underdone but will firm up as they cool.
5. Rest and Cool
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. This allows them to set and develop their chewy texture.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely if desired.
6. Optional Finishing Touch
- Sprinkle powdered sugar over half (or all) of the cookies for added sweetness and a pretty presentation.
Serving Suggestions
- Pair with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
- These cookies are great for sharing at parties or enjoying as a family snack!
Tips for Success
- Consistency: If the dough feels too sticky to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes before scooping.
- Variations: Add nuts, caramel bits, or peanut butter chips for extra flair.
