Brownie Mix Cookies
Easy brownie cookies that start with a brownie mix and transform into baked fudgy delicious brownie cookies!
Ingredients
- 1 18-ounce box of any brand of brownie mix (sometimes they are a little larger in ounces that’s fine to use)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/2 cup AP flour
- 5 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil (butter melted can be substituted)
- 1/2 cup of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Note: for a different flavor addition add 1 teaspoon of orange extract and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice ( these will give them a fall flavor).
- For other Mix-In or Suggestions see options under notes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees line two baking sheets with parchment and set that aside.
- In a large bowl add all the ingredients and mix to combine evenly.
- Drop by the medium cookie scoop or large (large will take 3 minutes longer to cook and give you 20 cookies instead of 30.)
- Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes, these will be slightly crisp on the edges and very chewy in the center. For crispier edges and more cake-like in the center 11 minutes.
- Note: I would test one cookie to see if that’s how you prefer them before baking a whole sheet full.
- Cool then remove from the cookie sheet.
- Store in air-tight containers. Cookies can be frozen for up to 6 months in freezer bags.
