Get ready to indulge in the ultimate chocolate lover’s dream with these brownie mix cookies that have the decadent richness of a brownie, but in cookie form! This recipe combines the convenience of a box mix with a few simple additions to create a treat that has crispy edges and a delightfully fudgy inside.
Brownie Mix Cookies Ingredients
Indulge in the pleasure of creating these fudgy brownie cookies with the following simple ingredients:
- 18.75-ounce box of Chocolate Supreme Brownie mix (Ghirardelli brand with the syrup pack included)
- ½ cup of all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup of canola oil
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon of water
- 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
Substitutions And Additions
CHOCOLATE: If you’re feeling adventurous, swap the semi-sweet chocolate chips with white chocolate, peanut butter chips, or even chunks of your favorite candy bars in these chocolate brownie cookies. The gooey centers of these cookies will pair beautifully with different types of chocolate.
NUTS: For a delightful crunch, fold in chopped nuts such as walnuts, pecans, or almonds to this brownie mix cookie recipe. These nuts will not only enhance the texture but also add a nutty depth to each bite.
DRIED FRUIT: Experiment with dried fruit like cranberries, cherries, or raisins for a burst of tangy sweetness that complements the chocolate. Their chewy texture will contrast beautifully with the soft cookies.
MINT: If you’re a fan of mint chocolate, consider adding a touch of peppermint extract to the batter. The cool, refreshing flavor will take your rich chocolate cookies to a whole new level.
BROWNIE MIX: The Ghirardelli Supreme box of brownie mix has the added packet of fudge sauce in the box. This helps give these cookies that rich and fudgy interior.
You can substitute the Ghirardelli Ultimate Chocolate brownie mix (with the chocolate sauce and chocolate chips already added to the mix). If you use this substitution in this cookie recipe from brownie mix, reduce the added chocolate chips to ½ cup.
If you use the Ghirardelli Double Chocolate brownie mix, there won’t be a fudge packet in the box with the brownie mix, but it will already have chocolate chips added, so you can reduce the amount of additional chocolate added to ½ cup.
How To Make This Brownie Mix Cookies Recipe
This brownie cookies recipe will satisfy your chocolate cravings and bake up in no time. Here’s how:
STEP ONE: 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.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
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.
STEP TWO: Using a rubber spatula, or wooden spoon, fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the brownie mix cookie batter until evenly distributed.
STEP THREE: 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.
STEP FOUR: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
STEP FIVE: 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.
STEP SIX: 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.
STEP SEVEN: 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.
How To Serve
Serve these brownie mix cookies as a standalone treat with a glass of cold milk or vanilla latte.
Create ice cream sandwiches by placing a scoop of your favorite ice cream between two cookies. Roll the sides in sprinkles or chopped nuts for an extra touch of fun.
Elevate your dessert presentation by placing a warm cookie on a plate and topping it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Drizzle with hot fudge sauce for a truly decadent experience.
