Soft, fudgy cookies using a brownie mix. It’s super easy and gives you chewy, chocolatey cookies with minimal ingredients. Here’s a detailed recipe:
Ingredients
-
1 box (about 18–20 oz) brownie mix
-
2 large eggs
-
1/3 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
Optional mix-ins:
-
1/2–1 cup chocolate chips
-
1/2 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
-
Directions
1. Preheat Oven
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
2. Make the Cookie Dough
-
In a medium bowl, combine:
-
Brownie mix
-
Eggs
-
Vegetable oil
-
Vanilla extract
-
-
Stir until fully combined. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky.
-
Fold in any optional chocolate chips or nuts if desired.
3. Shape the Cookies
-
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
-
Leave about 2 inches of space between each cookie (they will spread slightly).
4. Bake
-
Bake for 9–12 minutes depending on your oven and preferred texture:
-
9–10 minutes → soft and fudgy
-
11–12 minutes → slightly more set but still chewy
-
-
Don’t overbake; the cookies continue to firm as they cool.
5. Cool and Serve
-
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
-
Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
✅ Tips:
-
For extra fudgy cookies, slightly underbake them.
-
You can drizzle melted chocolate or sprinkle powdered sugar on top for decoration.
-
If you want a thicker, brownie-like cookie, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
