Ingredients in These Brownie Mix Cookies
These cookies come together with just a few ingredients, but they pack a serious chocolate punch. Here’s what you’ll need:
Brownie Mix: The secret shortcut to rich, fudgy cookies.
Eggs: Helps bind everything together and gives the cookies structure.
Oil: Keeps the cookies soft and chewy.
Flour: A little extra flour helps create the perfect cookie texture.
Chocolate Chips (Optional): For extra melty goodness.
Vanilla Extract (Optional): Adds depth to the chocolate flavor.
Instructions
Mix the Dough
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, whisk together brownie mix, eggs, oil, and flour until fully combined. The dough will be thick—that’s exactly what you want!
Add the Extras
Stir in chocolate chips, nuts, or any mix-ins you like. This step is where you get to customize your cookies!
Shape the Cookies
Scoop out dough balls and place them on a lined baking sheet. Flatten them slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
Bake to Perfection
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft. Don’t overbake! They’ll firm up as they cool.
Let Them Cool
Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set perfectly while keeping that fudgy center.
Serve and Enjoy
Now for the best part—grab a glass of milk and enjoy these irresistible cookies!
