Brownie Cookies from a Boxed Brownie Mix
They may look like any ol' chocolate cookie, but just look at that soft, tender brownie center with ooey gooey melty chocolate chips! If this doesn't say love, I don't know what will.
Just like the Easiest Jam Thumbprint Cookies, I start with a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. I prefer this kind, they are pre-cut (no rolling up and no wrestling to size it to my sheet pan) and oven safe up to 420 degrees F. Plus, there is no greasy overspray from non-stick cooking spray on my counters and stove!
How to Make Cookies from Boxed Brownie Mix
These brownie cookies are not made by just mixing up the brownies per the instructions on the box. A cup of all purpose flour thickens the dough so the cookies keep their shape. And while you can use melted butter or oil in the recipe, I find that using butter is more flavorful but oil works in a pinch.
After the brownie cookie dough is mixed and chilled, use a small cookie scoop to portion the dough (about 1 tablespoon) and roll into balls. This will give you that perfect "two bite" size and makes for quick baking!
Place the brownie cookie dough balls a few inches apart - I got 15 cookies per pan and 36 cookies from one brownie mix!
Then, bake until the cookies are just set (no liquid batter in the center when tested with a toothpick) ... they'll be soft and tender and oh-so-chocolately!
I mean, with 3 dozen of these brownie cookies in my arsenal, my boys are going to be so happy!
And I love the easy clean up ... so this dessert is a win-win!
Now, we love brownies with 'extras', so I used a mix with chocolate chips and chocolate chunks added. Feel free to add a ½ cup of your favorite mix into the dough if you are using a plain brownie mix - white or milk chocolate chips, mint chips, peanut butter chips, cinnamon chips, caramel bits, toffee bits, nuts, etc.
Have you ever made cookies from a brownie mix? These might be my new favorite cookie!

These look amazing-and I NEED that parchment paper-I never bake without it b/c clean up is so much easier and I love that now it's sized perfectly!

I stumbled upon your page through Pinterest looking for toddler-friendly recipes and ended up discovering these cookies. I don't usually follow recipes to the T, but I didn't want to risk messing these up by goofing around, and I must say, there are not enough good things to say about these cookies. Amazing. As my "extra" in place of water I added coconut milk and my friend and I absolutely could not stop eating them straight out of the oven. Ruined our dinner (not really, though). Shame.
Thanks for posting this! You are indeed blessed!
