How Do I Make This Brownie Mix Cookie Recipe?

You'll love these easy treats if you love chocolate cookies with chocolate chips. And since they're made with a premade mix, they'll be ready to bake in minutes! All you have to do is follow these quick instructions, pop them in the oven, and enjoy some warm, brownie flavored cookies.

Step One: Combine the Wet Ingredients

Add the oil, eggs, and water to a large bowl. Whisk the ingredients together until they're smooth and well combined.

Step Two: Add the Brownie Mix

Pour the brownie mix into the bowl over the top of the liquids, then add the flour. Use a fork to lightly whisk the flour into the brownie mix before fully mixing all the ingredients together.

Step Three: Mix in the Chocolate Chips

Add the chocolate chips to the bowl when the cookie dough is well blended. Make sure to reserve a few chocolate chips to decorate the top of each cookie. Then, carefully fold the chocolate into the dough.

Step Four: Scoop the Cookies

Using a small one-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the dough into balls. Place each ball on a parchment paper lined baking sheet approximately one inch apart to give them room to spread. Press your extra chocolate chips into the top of each cookie.

Step Five: Bake the Brownie Cookies

Bake the cookies for 9 to 10 minutes, until the tops are no longer shiny but the center is still slightly soft. Do not overbake the cookies, or they will become tough. When the cookies are finished baking, allow them to cool completely before eating.

How Do You Store Brownie Mix Cookies?

These chocolatey treats can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature. Make sure to allow the cookies to cool completely, then place them in a container in a cool, dry play. They'll stay good for up to one week. 

For long-term storage, you can also freeze the cookies for up to three months. Arrange the cooled cookies on a baking sheet or plate and put them in the freezer for around two hours. Once the cookies are frozen solid, transfer them to a freezer bag or freezer-safe container. 

Brownie Mix Cookie Recipe Ideas

These simple cookies are the perfect sweet treat because there is so many ways to customize them! Try these recipe ideas as you're preparing your own cookies to create an amazing snack for your family to enjoy.

• Try different mix-ins. In addition to chocolate chips, you can add several other mix-ins to the cookie dough to create a unique cookie every time you make this recipe. Try adding white chocolate chips, butterscotch, peanut butter chips, caramel candy bits, toffee bits, chopped nuts, or chopped peppermint. You can also mix in candy pieces, like M&Ms or Reese's Pieces, for even more chocolate flavor.
• Top with powdered sugar. To add even more sweetness to your brownie cookies, dust them with powdered sugar. Allow the cookies to cool completely, then sprinkle the sugar over the top before serving.
• Spread some chocolate icing on top. Chocolate icing is another simple topping idea for these easy cookies. Once the cookies are finished cooking, grab a jar of premade chocolate frosting and spread a thin layer over the top of each cookie before serving.

Brownie Mix Cookie Recipe Tips

You'll love just how simple these chocolatey treats are to make! But that doesn't mean a few tips wouldn't be helpful as you're baking. Use these guidelines to help you while whipping up this one-bowl cookie recipe at home.

• Disregard the brownie mix instructions. Since we're making cookies out of the brownie mix, there's no need to follow the instructions on the box. You won't need any of the ingredients listed on the package. Instead, use the ingredients listed in the recipe below to prepare your cookies.
• Don't flatten the cookies. Keep your cookies in round balls on the baking sheet to ensure they are thick and chewy. There is no need to flatten the cookies before baking.
• Make sure not to overbake your cookies. Keep an eye on your brownie cookies as they bake to keep them from getting overcooked. These chocolate cookies taste best when they're slightly underbaked, so make sure to pull them from the oven when the edges have just begun to set but the center is still soft.
