Brownie mix cookies is the ultimate box brownie mix recipe. Chewy, rich chocolate cookies 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’ll love Cookies from Brownie Mix
- Can be made fast and only 4 ingredients needed.
- Fudgy, chewy cookies rich in chocolate flavor.
- Easy to customize with different add-in ingredients.
Brownie Cookies from box Ingredients
- Box brownie mix – I use Ghirardelli double chocolate mix and have also used Pillsbury brownie mix. I would recommend not using Betty Crocker for this recipe since it doesn’t contain baking soda and could cause the cookies to flatten.
- Vegetable or canola oil – Either of these work well. You can also use coconut oil.
- Eggs – Two eggs are needed for this recipe.
- All-purpose flour – Just a little flour is needed for these cookies.
Brownie Cookies from Mix Variations
These chocolate crackle brownie cookies are perfect to mix in other ingredients. I recommend adding in 1/2-3/4 cup of the ingredient you choose. 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.
Brownie Mix Cookies 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 Ghriardelli and Pillsbury.
- 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 of baking soda to help keep them from flattening.
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or a 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. 8-9 minutes seems to be the perfect cook time.
How to store Brownie Mix Cookies
Store: Place the chocolate cookies in an airtight container and leave out at room temperature. They will last about 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 up to 3 months. Let thaw in the refrigerator.
Brownie Mix Cookies FAQs
The big difference between the two mixes is that a cake mix contains more leavener. This helps the cake to rise. A brownie mix does not contain much leavener and they typically contain more sugar in the mix.
Yes, these cookies can be frozen. Let the cookies completely cool and then place in a freezer safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 3 months.

I made them half the size and dipped half in pink frosting for my daughter’s graduation party. Tasted great and looked so pretty on cookie tray
Love the idea of dipping them in frosting! Congratulations to your daughter!
Heather my cookies looked just like the picture and tasted AMAZING. I used a double scoop which made 10 giant cookie. I had to bake a few xtra minutes since the cookies were larger. Thanks for the recipe!
This recipe was delicious!! 😋 instead of using oil I used the same amount of butter in its place. I mixed the brownie mix, flour and a half teaspoon of baking powder in a bowl and mixed all the powder substances. In a separate bowl I Mixed the eggs, then added butter, and half teaspoon of vanilla extract mixed it all together then poured everything in a bowl. I also froze some nutella in drops and when I spooned in the dough I put a frozen nutella drop in the middle and Cooked 10 minutes on 350 and they are delicious!!
I thought cookies were good. But there is more than 1g of carbs in each cookie. Way to difficult to leave message. To may pop ups very bad
I made these today for my husband and his co-workers. My husband tried one, he tries all my new recipes. He loved it and l am sure his co-workers will too. Thanks for sharing
So easy and so delicious. I added mini chocolate chips.
Perfect and delicious! Looks just like the picture. I believe some people that have issues may not be cooking on a stone with parchment paper. I also have a gas oven which makes them turn out perfect.
Thank you!
My husband is diabetic so used a sugar free mix which weighs 2 ozs less than regular brownie mix. Used other ingredients as listed. Baked 20 mins, cooled on sheet for 5 but they were not done. Not for us I guess
i followed instructions exactly….my brownies looked nothing like the picture and were not good at all.
I’m sorry Mary. Not sure what might have happened. They turn out for us every time I make them.
Hey Mary . Sorry to hear that too! This was my first time but I paid attention on the mix texture used. I used less egg and little more flour. I was wanted something crumbly textured. Even left the mix on the fridge for 2hrs. To get some consistency they rise like a charm but came out flat once cooled. The taste amazing and the look just like our host’s . Hope this helps! As long as they are edible we can always try again . Good luck friend!
And to our host. Thanks for this useful recipe! I love brownies but was bored of the old cakey look !
Just the recipe I was looking for. My cookies turned out perfect!
Thank you so much for sharing. I will say that my first batch, only 4 did turn flat, however, the remaining cookies were kept in for an additional 1 minute and they are picture perfect. I added a pinch of sea salt to a few and so yummy! I also cut one cookie in half and made an ice cream sandwich!!! OMG so yummy!
Thank you, thank you
