These Easy Brownie Mix Cookies are a perfect blend of brownie richness and cookie convenience. Made from a simple brownie mix combined with eggs, oil, and a touch of flour, these cookies bake up with a fudgy center and crackly top. Optional chocolate chips add extra melty pockets of chocolate, making these treats irresistibly gooey and satisfying. Ideal for a quick dessert or snack with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 box (18-20 oz) brownie mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter for a richer taste)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, but adds great flavor)
  • ½ cup chocolate chips or chunks (optional, for extra chocolatey goodness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, and vegetable oil (or melted butter). The mixture will be thick and sticky, so use a sturdy wooden spoon for best results.
  3. Add Flour and Vanilla: Stir in the all-purpose flour and vanilla extract (if using) until the dough is well incorporated, helping to achieve a cookie-like texture.
  4. Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks evenly to create pockets of melted chocolate within the cookies.
  5. Scoop Dough: Using rounded tablespoons, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each about 2 inches apart to allow for slight spreading.
  6. Bake: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set but the centers remain slightly underbaked for a fudgy texture.
  7. Cool Briefly: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up before transferring them to a wire rack.
  8. Serve: Enjoy the cookies warm for gooey centers or fully cooled for a chewier bite with a crackly top and fudgy interior.

Notes

  • Using melted butter instead of vegetable oil adds a richer flavor and slightly denser texture.
  • Don’t overbake; the cookies continue to set as they cool on the baking sheet.
  • For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of salt or cinnamon to the dough mix.
  • These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.
  • Feel free to substitute chocolate chips with nuts or dried fruit for variations.
