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.

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.

1. Mix: Mix together brownie mix, eggs, oil, and flour with an electric mixer until combined.
2. Scoop: Scoop cookie dough and place on a lined baking sheet about an inch apart. 
3. Bake: Bake at 350 degrees F for 8-9 minutes. 
4. 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.
