BEST BROWNIE MIX COOKIES INGREDIENTS

To make chocolate brownie cookies from a box mix, you'll need the following ingredients:

• 18 ounce box of brownie mix - I used White Lily Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix, but any 18 ounce box of brownie mix with baking soda listed in the ingredients list will work
• Eggs - grade A large eggs
• All-purpose flour
• Canola oil
• Pure vanilla extract
• Sea salt
• Semisweet chocolate chips

HOW TO MAKE THIS BROWNIE MIX COOKIE RECIPE

Now that you have your ingredients, it's time to make the cookies! Follow these step-by-step instructions for perfect chocolate brownie cookies every time.

1. Prep: Gather ingredients, preheat the oven, and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. Combine: Add first 6 ingredients to a large bowl
3. Mix: Using a hand or stand mixer with a beater attachment, mix the ingredients to combine. The mixture will be thick
4. Stir: Fold in the chocolate chips or chocolate chunks
5. Scoop: Scoop the brownie batter cookie dough using a small cookie scoop onto the prepared baking sheet
6. Bake: Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes
7. Cool: Cool on the pan for 2-3 minutes then move to a wire rack

SUBSTITUTIONS AND MIX-INS

One of the great things about chocolate brownie cookies is that they're very versatile, and you can easily make substitutions or add-ins to suit your taste preferences. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

• Switch up the type of boxed brownie mix you use. Try a dark chocolate brownie mix for a richer, more intense chocolate flavor. If you prefer a fudgier cookie, opt for a brownie boxed mix that is labeled as "fudge" or "chewy." Be sure to use an 18 ounce box of brownie mix that has baking soda listed in the ingredients. If you use a box without baking soda in the mix, add ½ teaspoon of baking soda when making the cookies.
• Use a different type of chip such as dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or white chocolate chips instead of semisweet chocolate chips. Peanut butter chips or butterscotch would also be a great choice!
• To add some crunch or texture to your cookies, you can add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans, shredded coconut, or toffee bits.
• Add a ½ teaspoon of espresso powder to infuse these chocolate cookies with just a touch of coffee flavor. For a stronger mocha flavor, try adding a teaspoon of espresso powder.

EASY BROWNIE MIX COOKIES RECIPE TIPS

To ensure the best results with this recipe, here are a few tips to keep in mind:

• Use parchment paper to line your baking sheet. This will prevent the cookies from sticking and make clean-up easier.
• Don't over-mix the dough. Once all the ingredients are combined, stop mixing. Over-mixing can lead to tough, dry cookies.
• Use a cookie scoop to ensure evenly sized cookies. This will help them bake evenly and look uniform.
• Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. This will help them set and prevent them from falling apart.
• If you want a crispier cookie in lieu of the fudgy center, bake them for an extra minute or two. Keep in mind that they will continue to cook slightly as they cool on the baking sheet.

HOW TO STORE

Store your chocolate brownie cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. If you want to keep them fresh for longer, store them in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

HOW TO FREEZE

If you want to freeze your chocolate brownie cookies, let them cool completely and then transfer them to a freezer-safe container or bag. They will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. To thaw, simply remove them from the freezer and let them come to room temperature before serving.
