Brownie Mix Cookies

A little over a year ago, I discovered the joys of brownie cookies. Back then, I made the batter from scratch and they turned out amazing! The other day, I saw that I had an extra box of brownie mix and wondered if I could just use that instead of mixing all of the dry ingredients and it turned out just as good. This recipe is made with just 3 ingredients – brownie mix, egg, and butter. I chose to use butter as opposed to vegetable oil to give it more of a cookie texture so it is a bit crisper than a regular brownie but with all of the same flavors.

Ingredient Notes –

  • I recommend a good quality brownie mix for these cookies– I’m using Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Brownie Mix which already has chocolate chips in it. If your brownie mix does not contain chocolate chips, feel free to add up to 1 cup of your favorite chocolate chips (dark, milk, white, etc).
  • Butter adds richness and helps hold our cookies together.
  • Egg also helps bind the cookies together.
  • I’m adding extra chopped dark chocolate to these cookies. Feel free to add your favorite chocolate– chopped, chips, mini M&Ms, etc.
