Brownie Mix Cookies

Brownie Mix Cookies are a delicious combination of two easy dessert recipes; brownies and cookies! They come together in a snap and are always a crowd pleaser. 

Brownie Mix Cookies. You guys, these are my favorite cookies of all time.

Brownie Mix Cookies are a delicious combination of two easy dessert recipes; brownies and cookies! They come together in a snap and are always a crowd pleaser. 

I am a sucker for brownies. If I had to pick a favorite dessert of all time brownies would be at the top. It’s probably because of all that chocolaty goodness.  Cookies would come in at a close second.

Because cookies.

Brownie Mix Cookies are a delicious combination of two easy dessert recipes; brownies and cookies! They come together in a snap and are always a crowd pleaser. 

So I figured why not put them together? And how about I throw in some dark chocolate chunks for good measure? The cookies are slightly flaky on the outside, gooey and fudgy on the inside.

AKA: The perfect chocolate lover’s dessert fix.

I mean seriously, just look at that melty chocolaty inside.

Brownie Mix Cookies. The perfect Chocolate fix!

What else can you do with brownie mix?

Being a blogger and recipe developer, I will, most of the time make everything from scratch. I even make my own Hot Oil and Pasta.

But sometimes, it’s nice to have premade mixes on hand. Especially when you’re in a pinch. Since this was kind of a spur of the moment thing, I didn’t have all of the necessary ingredients to make brownie batter from scratch, so I used a box brownie mix (gasp!) that I had on hand to help me.

I think that it worked perfectly and saved me a trip to the grocery store.

Brownie Mix Cookies are a delicious combination of two easy dessert recipes; brownies and cookies! They come together in a snap and are always a crowd pleaser. 

Do you need to chill brownie mix cookies?

When I originally wrote this recipe way back in 2009, I had included a chill time of 2 hours. I originally included those instructions because I find that it does make the batter a little bit easier to work with. That being said, when I have found it a little hard to wait, I omit the chilling time. The batter is a little stickier but the finished product is the same.

Fudgy Brownie Cookies

Can I freeze brownie cookie dough?

Yes! Freezing cooke dough is a great way to have cookies around whenever you want. These dough for these brownie cookies is perfect to freeze because they are hearty enough to handle the freezer.

To freeze the cookie dough, roll heaping tablespoonfuls of the dough into balls. Place them in a single layer on a cookie sheet and freeze until firm. Once they are frozen, you can place them in ziplock bags. By freezing them individually, it prevents them from sticking together and you can grab as many as you’d like when you’re ready to cook them.

Brownie Mix Cookies are super easy and always a crowd pleaser!

The dough can be frozen for up to 3 months. When you are ready to cook them simply remove them from the freezer and preheat your oven. You might need to cook them for a little longer, maybe 12 minutes.

If you want to learn more about which cookie doughs are good to freeze. Sally from Sally’s Baking Addiction put together an extensive post on how to freeze cookie dough.

Brownie mix cookies are a chocolate lover's dream and couldn't be easier to make! #browniecookies #browniemix #chocolate #cookies

Ingredients
  

Ingredients:

  • 1 package fudge brownie mix I used Duncan Hines
  • 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup 1 stick butter, melted, cooled
  • 5 - 6 tablespoons cold water
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chunks I found of bag of dark chocolate chunks but if you can't just chop a dark chocolate bar into chunks

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together flour, brownie mix and brown sugar.
  • Using a heavy spoon, stir in eggs one at a time. Followed by butter and 2 tablespoons water. If the batter appears like there is too much flour add 1 more tablespoon of water. Batter will be very thick.
  • Fold in chocolate chunks
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease a cookie sheet.
  • Drop heaping tablespoons of dough on the cookie sheet, you want pretty thick cookies here to get the brownie feel, about 3 inches apart. Press down slightly. Don't flatten completely. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, allow to cool 2 minutes on cookie sheet. Transfer to cooling rack to cool completely.

    Have a question. Ingredients list 5-6 tablespoons of water. Instructions say add 2tablespoons and possibly one more. Which is it. I’m a new baker so follow recipes pretty closely.

      Hi Leslie, I listed butter but used unsalted because that is usually what I have on hand. I have also used salted butter. The difference is not noticeable so any butter will do. I mentioned in the blog post that when I posted this recipe in 2009, I originally chilled the dough for two hours. I omitted that from the updated version because I didn’t think it was required. You can certainly chill the dough if you want though! Hope this helps!

    Hi Akanksha- I have never tried to make these without brownie mix before so I am not sure how it would work. You could try mixing the dry ingredients for a batch of brownies as a substitute for the brownie mix.Then follow the recipe as written so you’ll be adding more flour and brown sugar. Again I haven’t tried making them that way so I can’t say how well it will work.

      Hi Denise! Thanks! I have not personally put this cookie dough before in the freezer, but since it is a heavy dough, as opposed to one made with egg whites, it should freeze quite well. Just make sure to protect the dough with a couple of layers of plastic wrap and allow plenty of time to thaw before cooking and cook within 4-6 weeks.
      I would also think that freezing the cookies after you bake them would not really mess with the texture, but again I have not done it personally.
      Hope this helps!

    I made these and they were quite amazing, but I also improved them a little bit (I think) by replacing the two tablespoons of water with and equal amount of strong coffee (cooled). It adds an awesome extra taste to the cookie and makes it even more irresistable. Thanks for the awesome recipe Deseree

    Erin, I’m glad you and your family love them but am sorry to hear that you’ve had problems with them being too flat. I am not sure that using a different brand of brownie mix would cause the problem as a few other people have left comments saying that they used other mixes and didn’t have a problem. One thought may be that the batter is getting to warm, make sure it stays cold. I would try putting the bowl in the fridge while you are baking the batches. I would also wait for your cookie sheet to cool down, if it is too warm the batter will spread. Also over working it could cause this problem. Also if you’re at a high altitude you’d have to adjust for that. I hope this helps!

    Deseree, I’ve made these a few times and my family and I really love them. The only thing is that they never quite come out as thick as they do in the picture, but rather flat and soupy when I take them out of the oven. I follow all the directions, but use a different brand of brownie mix. Could this be the problem? Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

      Thank you Kate! I love Ghirardelli chocolate so that sounds like a perfect substitution. :)

    hey deseree,
    girl, i baked those cookies over the weekend.i had some friends over with their families. i think the mistake i made was breaking a cookie in pieces and giving everyone to taste. 2 of the boys that were there raided the tray. 1 of the families took home the rest. i only got one. the next time i bake them i need to make sure that i don’t have company. i went back to the grocery store, the other size they have is an 11 ounce, so….i don’t know what the adjustment would be for that but i don’t think the smaller size would work in my house, the recipe is too popular.

      Hey belle, I’ve made that mistake before too, always gotta hide some for yourself! ;-) I am happy to hear that your family and your company enjoyed these.

    OK I just got to taste one………….. I am out of millk, which is a bummer, but WOW that is tasty! I convinced my mom to make them just by her seeing the pictures! I am glad I used the Duncan Hines Chocolate Lovers Brownie mix, which has the double fudge with the fudge packet… I mixed that in as well, and wow… I will never make another cookie recipe again.

    I’m making these right now! The dough has just gone into the refrigerator… The batter is incredibly awesome, so I can only imagine how the cookies will taste! And those are beautiful pictures… They make my mouth water every time I see it…

    the size i used was about that, i think it was 18.7 ounces if i remember correctly….. but the brand i used was betty crocker, i remember picking up the 2 sizes in the grocery. i didn’t know which one to get so i just opted for the bigger one. but the other one was a 11-13 ounce i believe…..but i’m not sure, i can’t remember…. next time i go to the grocery i’ll make a note of it and write you.

    hey deseree, you made me laugh when you said you are not a sweets fan…lol. but, i have another question for you, there are 2 sizes of brownie mix at my grocery store. i used the bigger one, but i was wondering if i use the smaller one with the exact same ingredients if i would get the same results….i guess what i am really asking is….does the size pack of the brownie mix that i buy matter? do i have to adjust ingredients to suit?

      Hey Belle, I think that if you did buy the smaller size package of brownie mix you would want to adjust the other ingredients to suit the change so that you can get the same results. What was the size that you originally used? I used a box of Duncan Hines brownie mix so it was a 19-20 ounce package.

      haha well I skipped the refrigeration once and found that they were pretty hard to work with, they got really soft and sticky so they didn’t form or bake well. If you can’t wait, you can take them out a bit early, maybe after 1 hour, and I think it might be ok. Hope you enjoy them! :)

    hey belle, I didn’t find that these were overly sweet and I am actually not (gasp!) a huge sweets fan. I’ll work on the recipe from scratch and if I come up with one that works I’ll be sure and share it with you all. :)

    hey deseree, i checked out some brownie cookie recipes on other websites. i realized you added more sugar, and you used flour, i was wondering if this didn’t make the recipe too sweet? when you figure out how to get the same results from scratch can you post it. i have been looking for one and can’t seem to find it. by the way your cookies look really good, the best i have seen so far!

    I reckon these cakes are amazing as I have made them before, but I have forgotten how many grams a stick of butter is. I love anybody who loves these cakes so spread the word, as these cakes have not been given the credit they deserve. So thank all of you people who spend the time to read other people’s and comment on others!!!
