The perfect mashup of fudgy brownies and chewy cookies—ready in just 20 minutes! These decadent treats are rich, chocolatey, and foolproof thanks to brownie mix.
Ingredients (Makes ~18 cookies)
- 1 (18 oz) box brownie mix (standard size)
- ¼ cup (30g) all-purpose flour (helps thicken the dough)
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup (60ml) vegetable oil (or melted butter for richer flavor)
- 2 tbsp water
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup (90g) chocolate chips (optional, but highly recommended!)
(Optional add-ins: chopped nuts, M&M’s, or a sprinkle of sea salt!)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep & Mix
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, stir together:
- Brownie mix + flour (whisk first to remove lumps)
- Eggs, oil, water, vanilla
→ Mix until thick and glossy (like brownie batter).
- Fold in chocolate chips.
2. Scoop & Bake
- Drop 1-tbsp portions of dough onto the sheet (2 inches apart).
- Bake 8-10 mins until edges are set but centers look slightly underdone.
(They’ll firm up as they cool!)
3. Cool & Devour
- Let rest 5 mins on the sheet, then transfer to a rack.
- Enjoy warm with a glass of milk!
FAQs & Pro Tips
Q: Can I use cookie mix instead of brownie mix?
⚠️ No—brownie mix gives these their fudgy texture! Cookie mix will yield different results.
Q: Why are my cookies flat?
➡️ Possible causes:
- Too much oil (measure carefully)
- Overmixed dough (just stir until combined)
- Hot baking sheet (let it cool between batches)
Q: Can I make these without eggs?
✅ Yes! Use 2 tbsp applesauce + 1 tsp baking powder per egg.
Q: How to store leftovers?
- Room temp: 3 days in an airtight container.
- Freeze: Up to 1 month (thaw at room temp).
Q: Can I use melted butter instead of oil?
✅ Yes! Butter adds richness, but oil keeps them chewier longer.
