Brownie Mix Cookies is the ultimate box brownie mix recipe. Chewy, rich cookies that that are so delicious, you will never believe they were made from a box mix.
If you enjoy chocolate desserts be sure to check out espresso brownie bites, chocolate sheet cake and oatmeal fudge bars.
I love using cake mixes to make different recipes like cake mix brownies, cake mix cookie bars and cake mix waffles but today I am using a brownie mix to make cookies.
Why you will love these cookies
- Can be made fast and only 4 ingredients needed.
- Fudgy, chewy cookies rich in chocolate flavor.
- Easy to customize with different add-in ingredients.
Ingredients needed
Box brownie mix – I use Ghirardelli double chocolate mix and have also tried Pillsbury. I would recommend not using Betty Crocker for these since it doesn’t contain baking soda.
Vegetable or canola oil – Either of these work well. You could also use coconut oil.
Eggs – Two eggs are needed for this recipe.
All-purpose flour – Just a little bit of flour is needed for these cookies.

- Mix: Mix together brownie mix, eggs, oil, and flour with an electric mixer until combined.
- Scoop: Scoop cookie dough and place on a lined baking sheet about an inch apart.
- Bake: Bake at 350 degrees F for 8-9 minutes.
- Cool: Let cookies cool for 5 minutes on wire rack.
Recipe tips
- There are several brands of brownie mix on the grocery shelves and each is a little different in size. I have made this with Ghirardelli and Pillsbury mix.
- Betty Crocker mix doesn’t contain baking soda so it might make the cookies flat. If you decide to use this brand, try adding 1/2 teaspoon baking soda to help keep them from flattening.
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.
- For uniform sized cookies, try using a cookie scoop.
- Don’t over bake these cookies. Once they cool they will be perfect on the inside. 8 or 9 minutes seems to be the perfect cook time.
How to store
Store: Place them in an airtight container and leave out at room temperature. They last 4-5 days.
Freeze: They can be frozen. Let them completely cool and then place in freezer safe bag, making sure to remove any excess air. Freeze for up to 3 months. Let thaw in the refrigerator.
Variations
These chocolate crackle brownie cookies are perfect to mix in other ingredients. I recommend add in 1/2-3/4 cup of the ingredient. Here are a few suggestions:
- Chocolate chips or chunks
- Peanut butter chips
- Toffee bits
- 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
- Sprinkles
- Chopped nuts
- Sprinkle the top with sea salt
These cookies also make the perfect “sandwich” cookie. Try making a cookiewich using vanilla ice cream and two cookies or even fill with marshmallow fluff.

I only had the Betty Crocker on hand but I did add the baking soda and they still went flat.
However they tasted great and my son loved how big they got…so it was still a win.

I’m wondering if you have any suggestions for adjusting this recipe for high altitude?

I Debbie, I live in a high altitude area, 3000 feet, and this recipe works well as written. You could possibly increase your oven temperature by 25 degrees, just make sure to check on them so they don’t burn.
