How to Make Brownie Mix Cookies

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to keep the cookies from sticking.

Step 2: Mix the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and flour. Stir until everything is well combined. If you like extra chocolate chips, add them into the dough at this point.

Step 3: Scoop and Bake

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops have a slight crack.

Step 4: Cool and Enjoy

Once your cookies are done, let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. The result will be soft, fudgy brownie mix cookies!

Expert Tips for Perfect Cookies

  • Chill the Dough: If you want thicker cookies, chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking.
  • Add Mix-ins: Feel free to add chopped nuts, white chocolate chips, or even candy bits to make the cookies your own.
  • Don’t Overbake: For the chewiest cookies, keep an eye on them and pull them out when the edges are just golden. Overbaking can lead to dry cookies.
