Chewy Brownie Mix Cookies
🍪✨ These chewy brownie mix cookies are the ultimate chocolate lover’s dream—crispy on the edges, gooey in the middle, and incredibly easy to make. Whether you’re baking for a party, gifting, or just craving something fudgy and indulgent, these cookies deliver rich brownie flavor in every bite!
Ingredients:
1 box (18–19 oz) brownie mix (fudge-style preferred)
2 large eggs
â…“ cup vegetable oil
1 tbsp water
Âľ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
1 tsp vanilla extract
ÂĽ tsp sea salt (plus more for topping, optional)
Instructions:
Prep the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, water, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or wooden spoon to mix until a thick, sticky dough forms. The batter will be denser than traditional cookie dough—this helps keep that rich, chewy brownie texture.
Add the Goodies:
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts, if using. The chocolate chips add pockets of melty goodness, while the nuts offer a delightful crunch and depth of flavor.
Chill the Dough:
Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This step helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much and intensifies their chewy texture.
Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats for even baking and easy cleanup.
Scoop and Shape:
Using a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop the dough into rounded balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. For extra flair, press a few extra chocolate chips on top of each dough ball.
Bake to Perfection:
Bake for 9–11 minutes. The edges should be set, but the centers will look slightly underbaked—that’s key for the chewy texture. Do not overbake!
Cool Down:
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This allows them to firm up while staying soft and fudgy inside.
Finishing Touch (Optional):
Sprinkle a touch of sea salt on top while they’re still warm to balance the sweetness and enhance the chocolate flavor.
Serve & Enjoy:
Serve warm with a glass of milk, crumble over ice cream, or sandwich two together with a scoop of vanilla for the ultimate cookie treat.
