How to Make Brownie Mix Cookies
Follow along with our pictures, step-by-step instructions, and helpful tips and tricks to make the perfect brownie mix cookies. Let’s get started and enjoy this delicious recipe together!
FIRST STEP: In a large mixing bowl, add the chocolate supreme dry brownie mix, the syrup packet included in the mix, all-purpose flour, canola oil, eggs, and water. Using a hand mixer, on low speed, beat for 1 minute or until fully combined.
Pro Tip
Remember that you will not follow the instructions on the back of the box for the needed ingredients. You will want only to use the ingredients listed in the recipe.
SECOND STEP: Using a rubber spatula, or wooden spoon, fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the brownie mix cookie batter until evenly distributed.
THIRD STEP: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes or up to 1 hour.
Pro Tip
Don’t skip the dough chilling step. For these cookies, the full 1-hour chill time was used. The recipe has been tested at 30 minutes chill, and the cookies come out slightly flatter. The chilling of the brownie batter helps to firm up the dough to keep the cookies from spreading too much when baked.
FOURTH STEP: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
FIFTH STEP: Scoop out the chilled cookie dough using a 1½-inch (2 tablespoons) cookie scoop and place 12 balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
SIXTH STEP: Bake for 10 minutes, or until the tops of the cookies are set and slightly crackly. Allow your brownie mix cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then repeat with the remaining 12 cookie dough balls.
Pro Tip
Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to keep a close eye on your cookies as the suggested baking time approaches.
SEVENTH STEP: Once your cookies have firmed up a bit on the cookie sheet, you can transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely on the counter.
