These soft and chewy, ultra chocolatey Two Bite Brownie Cookies from a brownie mix were baked up in partnership with Reynolds® Kitchen and Socialstars. #ReynoldsCrowd If chocolate = love, I am speaking your language!!
I might have mentioned it before, but my hard working hubby, Chris, is not a big fan of sweets. Seriously tragic for a food blogger with a truckload of dessert recipes on her blog and a Sweet Stuff Pinterest Board with over 1700 pins.
And pretty tough for a romantic occasion like Valentine’s Day …
“Here honey, I made you some hot wings.”
But after almost 16 years of marriage, I know the short list of sweet treats that will tempt his sadly neglected sweet tooth. Carrot cake, ice cream and brownies! Yay for chocolate!
So these small little cookies that pack a big chocolate punch are perfect to tuck in his lunch box or share a la Lady & the Tramp style for Valentine’s Day 😉
Two Bite Brownie Cookies from a 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 one of my Reynolds® Cookie Baking Sheets. 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!
Now, these brownie cookies are not made by just mixing up the brownies per the instructions on the box. A cup of all purpose flour thicken 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, Chris is going to feel the love all week long!
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 1/2 cup of your favorite mix in to 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.

Notes
*Instead of water, you can up the flavor of your brownies by using leftover coffee or even flavored coffee creamer!
**My dough was refrigerated for 24 hours and was just fine.

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!
Oh I bet these are delicious! The hubby and I both love brownies. I will have to give this recipe a try. Thanks for sharing!
These look delicious! Thanks for linking up to Link Party Palooza!!! Have a great weekend!
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!
