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

What is the difference between a cake mix and a brownie mix?

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.

Can you freeze these cookies?

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 use an electric stove and 12 min was perfect for me.. otherwise they were undercooked. Also rolled some in powdered suger… So delicious!

  2. None of these recipes say a box of brownies for an 8×8 pan or a 9×13 inch pan box of brownie mix I would love to make them but I don’t know the size of box mix to use!,thank you if you can tell me

      1. So should I be okay using Betty Crocker delights Triple chunck supreme Brownie Mix to make these with this recipe?

  3. 4 stars
    Made these for Thanksgiving. My husband bought Betty Crocker brand so I added the baking soda like you suggested & they still ended up being flat 😭 they were fluffy when 1st taken out of the oven, but flattened very quick! I haven’t tasted one yet, but he said they were okay.

    Just made the cookies, flattened out, but good. I put the dough in the refrigerator before hand, didn’t work for me. I used self-rising flour…

    1. Thanks for trying them. I would try using the all-purpose flour and not putting the dough in the refrigerator. Hope that helps. Thanks!

  5. Just made these. They are good, but they flattened out and were pretty thin. Not sure what I could have done wrong with literally 3 steps.

    Great cookies! Fudgy and goey! Only think is they turn out a lot flatter than the picture, so I would recommend refrigerating the dough before hand if you don’t want them to spread out as much. The dough is also very sticky so I recommend using spoons to drop the dough, or refrigerating might help the stickiness.Also, for me it made closer to 20 than 36, but I made them a little bigger. Adding chocolate chips or other add ins make it taste even better! Great cookies!

    These were so delicious! I made them using a Krusteaz brand double chocolate brownie mix. I also substituted 1/8 C. Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 flour for the 1/8 C. all purpose flour. When I took a sheet of cookies out of the oven, I pressed 3 mint flavored m&m’s on the top of each cookie. Yum!
