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. Brownie mix cookies are such a fun twist on a classic dessert.

My son is obsessed with brownies, so I thought it would be fun to try something different and make them into cookies. After a few tries, and some very happy taste testers, I found the perfect recipe that everyone in my family loves. The cookies are rich, fudgy, and have that amazing brownie flavor.

One of my favorite things about this recipe is that it’s easy to make. If you are looking for a weeknight dessert or something to bring to a party, these cookies are always a hit. It’s the best of both worlds, crispy edges and a soft, fudgy center.

Why this recipe works

• Simple to make. Can be made fast and only 4 ingredients needed.
• Amazing texture. Fudgy, chewy cookies rich in chocolate flavor.
• Customizable. Easy to customize with different add-in ingredients.

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.

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

4. Cool: Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on a wire rack.

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.
• 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.

Storage

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.
