Everyone loves fudge. Everyone loves brownies. And who doesn’t love cookies? Why not combine the first two into a fudgy brownie treat, cookie-style, like these chocolatey brownie mix cookies?

Fudge is so incredibly, decadently dense, and that’s one of the things that makes it the ultimate delicious treat. But when you pair the density of fudge with the cakey texture of brownies, you have a heavenly match.

Brownie Mix Cookies Ingredients

  • Fudge brownie mix– Betty Crocker, Duncan Hines, King Arthur, and Pillsbury all produce a mix that will get you fudgy brownie results. You can also go higher-end with the Ghirardelli brand.
  • Eggs– farm fresh are always best, but you can easily use your favorite store bought brand. Large size are the ones most often used when developing recipes.
  • All-purpose flour– While flour is technically any ground uncooked cereal grain, the best to use for these Brownie Mix Cookies is your typical all-purpose flour. We have not tried this recipe using gluten-free flour alternatives, but if you happen to, please let us know how it goes!
  • Vegetable oil- According to Reader’s Digest, this miracle oil can help you get out a splinter, remove labels, and smooth your feet. For cooking, though, its neutral flavor adds texture and will provide richness to these Brownie Mix Cookies.
  • Water- this simple ingredient is responsible for consistency in baked goods and helps with the hydration of the other ingredients.
  • Vanilla extract- there are numerous vanilla extracts on the market, and just as many debates about which is best. Choose your favorite and use it in this recipe to round out the flavor of the cookies.
  • Coffee or espresso– prepare your favorite, light or dark roast, and add it to this cookie recipe to make it your own. Coffee helps to accentuate the natural chocolatey flavors. Use decaffeinated if serving to children… cause they have enough energy on their own!
  • Dark chocolate chips- while you can use any brand, if you want to elevate these brownie mix cookies, use those from a top-notch chocolate maker. Cook’s Illustrated gives a great guide to choosing dark chocolate chips. Milk chocolate, semi-sweet and white chocolate chips can be used as well. As can caramel or peanut butter chips.

How To Make Brownie Mix Cookies

Making brownie mix cookies is easy- just make sure to not overcook them, the only cardinal sin which is rather easy to do.

  1. Preheat the oven, preheating ensures that there is a solid temperature so that baked foods cook evenly. While this is important for all food, it’s especially crucial for baked goods. The temperature being a little too hot or a little too cold can dramatically impact the end result.
  2. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Using parchment paper eliminates the need for other methods to ensure that cooked foods don’t stick to the surface and allows for easy transfer of the Brownie Mix Cookies from the sheet to a wire cooling rack.
  3. In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the brownie mix, flour, vegetable oil, eggs, water, vanilla and coffee. Mix until no dry spots remain. Be sure to not mix beyond wetting all of the ingredients. Mixing too long will add too much air, resulting in a lighter end product.
  4. Fold in chocolate chips by hand. Rather than continuing to use the mixer, which could result in airy cookies instead of denser ones, folding chocolate chips in using a spatula will make sure you retain the desired texture while also dispersing the chocolate chips evenly.
  5. Using a tablespoon cookie scoop, place in rounded balls onto the prepared baking sheet. A melon-baller is a good option for ensuring equal size.
  6. Bake until the tops look glossy and puffy. While they might appear underbaked, they will continue to cook as they rest.
  7. Remove from the oven and cool for five minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool fully. Be sure to cool on a wire rack so that the cookies can cool from all sides and not become soggy or overcook on the bottoms.

What To Serve With Brownie Mix Cookies

Brownie Mix Cookies could be scarfed down all by themselves. Hide in your walk-in pantry before the kids go to bed, or while they’re off playing video games. Or you can share them with friends and family with some simple accompaniments. A few to try:

  • Coffee Drinks
  • Hot Chocolate
  • The trendy Dalgona Whipped Coffee
  • A nightcap White Chocolate Martini

Storage and Freezing

Brownie Mix Cookies will last up to three weeks in a sealed, airtight container at room temperature.

You can also keep them for two months in the refrigerator. Generally, cookies can also be stored in the freezer for eight to twelve months. Wrapping them individually will avoid them sticking together.
