Brownie Mix Cookies Recipe
Introduction
These Brownie Mix Cookies are a quick and delicious twist on classic brownies, transforming your favorite mix into soft, chewy cookies. Perfect for when you want a fudgy treat with less effort and a fun cookie shape.
Ingredients
- 1 box of brownie mix (any standard brand or flavor)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/8 cup all-purpose flour
- Optional: chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and flour. Stir until fully combined into a thick, fudgy dough. If using nuts or other mix-ins, fold them in now.
- Step 3: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, place small mounds of the dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow spreading.
- Step 4: Bake for 9-10 minutes. The edges should set while the centers remain slightly soft. Avoid overbaking to keep the chewy, brownie-like texture.
- Step 5: Remove from oven and let cookies sit on the sheet for 5 minutes to firm up, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before serving.
