Description
These decadent Brownie Mix Cookies offer the perfect shortcut to heritage flavor, featuring a crisp outer edge and a chewy, fudgy center. This simple pantry-staple recipe transforms a standard box of mix into thirty-six rich chocolate treats in just fifteen minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 (18-ounce) box brownie mix
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 5 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the brownie mix, flour, eggs, oil, water, chocolate chips, and walnuts until a thick, sticky dough forms.
- Use a small cookie scoop to drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the tops are no longer glossy and have a thin film; be careful not to overbake to ensure a fudgy center.
- Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 2 minutes to set before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For the most consistent results, use a premium brownie mix like Ghirardelli and stick to a paddle attachment rather than a whisk, as the dough is quite heavy. To keep the cookies soft for days, pull them from the oven while the center crevices still look slightly underdone, as they will continue to set on the warm pan.
