Did You Know?
Brownie mix cookies are a delicious example of kitchen creativity—born from the idea of turning leftover brownie mix into a whole new treat. With just a few tweaks, that fudgy, gooey brownie batter transforms into chewy, crackly-topped cookies that taste like they came straight from a bakery. It’s the shortcut dessert that feels anything but short on flavor.
🍪 Easy Brownie Mix Cookies Recipe

Rich, chewy, chocolatey cookies—made in minutes using a simple brownie mix!
🕒 Prep Time: 10 mins | 🍪 Bake Time: 10–12 mins | 🍽️ Yields: 20–24 cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 box (18–20 oz) brownie mix (any brand, chocolate fudge or dark chocolate recommended)
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 tablespoon water (optional – for slightly thinner batter)
- ½ cup chocolate chips or chunks (optional but highly recommended)
- Optional add-ins: chopped nuts, mini marshmallows, peanut butter chips
Instructions:
🔹 Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
🔹 Step 2: Make the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine:
- Brownie mix
- Eggs
- Oil
- Water (if using)
Stir until everything is well combined and a thick dough forms. Fold in chocolate chips or any mix-ins of your choice.
Pro Tip: The dough will be thicker than brownie batter but softer than regular cookie dough — that’s normal!
🔹 Step 3: Scoop the Cookies
Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop 1 to 1½ tablespoon-sized portions onto your baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
🔹 Step 4: Bake
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked (they’ll firm up as they cool).
🔹 Step 5: Cool
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
🍫 Serving Ideas:
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream
- Drizzle with melted chocolate or caramel for an indulgent twist
- Sandwich two cookies with Nutella or frosting for a fun dessert hack
💡 Tips & Tricks:
- For extra chewy cookies, chill the dough for 15–20 minutes before baking.
- Use a dark chocolate brownie mix for an intense chocolate flavor.
- Want a mocha twist? Add 1 tsp instant coffee to the dough.
