Cookies Made from Brownie Mix
The Ultimate Fudgy Cheat-Cookie Recipe That Will Steal Hearts!
Introduction: A Match Made in Dessert Heaven
Cookies and brownies. Two of the world’s most beloved baked treats. What if we told you that you could combine the rich, fudgy goodness of brownies with the convenient, grab-and-go joy of cookies? This recipe is the delicious answer.
With the help of a humble box of brownie mix, you can create cookies so gooey, chewy, and chocolate-packed that they’ll disappear before they’ve cooled. This isn’t just a recipe; it’s a love story between ease and indulgence.
A Bit of Sweet History
Brownies first emerged in the U.S. around the turn of the 20th century—thought to be invented in Chicago at the Palmer House Hotel. Cookies, on the other hand, date back to 7th-century Persia and spread across Europe and America.
This recipe is the modern dessert hybrid of two classics. It reflects the modern-day cook’s love for shortcuts without sacrificing quality or taste.
Formation: What Makes These Cookies Work
Using brownie mix creates a dense, chocolate-rich base. By adjusting the fat (oil), flour, and eggs, we tweak the batter into a dough thick enough to bake into crinkly-edged, soft-centered cookies. It’s chemistry, love, and magic in one bowl.
Ingredients (Makes about 18-24 cookies)
1 box (18–19 oz) brownie mix (your favorite brand – classic fudge or chocolate chunk works best)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour – helps give structure to the dough
2 large eggs – binds everything and adds richness
1/4 cup vegetable oil – for moist, chewy centers
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, but amazing)
1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk, or mix it up with peanut butter or white chips)
Pinch of salt (optional but brings out the chocolate flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare:
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the brownie mix and flour. This helps break up clumps and distributes the flour evenly.
- Add Wet Ingredients:
Crack in the eggs, pour in the oil and vanilla (if using), and mix until combined. The dough will be thicker than brownie batter but softer than traditional cookie dough.
- Stir in Chocolate Chips:
Fold in your chocolate chips—or any mix-ins like chopped nuts, crushed pretzels, or toffee bits.
- Scoop the Dough:
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto the baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. The cookies will spread, so give them room!
- Bake:
Bake for 9–11 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers still look soft. Don’t overbake—they continue to firm up as they cool.
- Cool and Serve:
Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container.
Methods & Tips for Cookie Lovers
Chill the Dough for 15–20 minutes if it feels too sticky or if you want thicker cookies.
Add Sea Salt on top before baking for a bakery-style finish.
For extra fudgy centers, underbake by 1 minute and cool fully.
Use mini muffin tins to bake them into cookie bites.
