🍫 Cookies Made From Brownie Mix

✨ Introduction

Who doesn’t love the chewy, fudgy decadence of brownies? Now imagine capturing that same rich chocolate flavor in a portable, bite-sized cookie! Cookies made from brownie mix are the ultimate shortcut to satisfy your chocolate cravings. They’re quick to prepare, deeply chocolaty, and have a wonderfully chewy center with slightly crisp edges. Ideal for bake sales, parties, lunch boxes, or simply curling up on the couch with a glass of milk.

📝 Ingredients

For the cookies:

  • 1 box (18.3 oz / about 520 g) brownie mix (any brand, fudge style preferred)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) vegetable oil (or melted butter for richer flavor)
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Pinch of sea salt (to sprinkle on top)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Method 1: The classic way

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, pour the brownie mix.
  3. Add in the eggs, oil, water, and vanilla extract. Stir with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until fully combined. The dough will be thick and sticky.
  4. Fold in chocolate chips and nuts if using.
  5. Use a medium cookie scoop (or tablespoon) to drop mounds of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. If desired, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on each dough ball.
  7. Bake for 9–11 minutes. Cookies will look slightly underbaked in the center; that’s perfect for a fudgy texture.
  8. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

🔄 Method 2: Chilled for thicker cookies

  1. After mixing your dough, cover and chill it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  2. Scoop and bake as above. Chilling helps make thicker, puffier cookies.

🕰 History

Brownies originated in the U.S. in the late 19th century, becoming popular for their dense, fudgy texture. By the mid-20th century, brownie mixes emerged, thanks to companies like Betty Crocker and Pillsbury, providing busy families with quick dessert solutions. Turning brownie mix into cookies is a modern twist — a clever hack popularized by home bakers and viral food blogs looking for easy yet indulgent treats.
