Ingredients

What You’ll Need

1 family-size (18-ounce) box Brownie Mix (I recommend Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix)
3 tablespoons (22 grams) all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons (18 grams) dark cocoa powder (Hershey’s Special Dark Cocoa Powder works well)
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Feel free to swap in your favorite brownie mix or chocolate chips if desired!

Directions to Follow

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line three baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, pour in the brownie mix.
Stir in the flour and dark cocoa powder.
Lightly beat the eggs and add to the dry ingredients.
Pour in the melted butter and mix well until blended.
Fold in the chocolate chips. You might find the mixture quite thick; using your hands can help combine everything thoroughly!
Scoop out about 20 balls of dough using a #30 ice cream scoop or tablespoon, rolling them into smooth balls about 1.5 inches in diameter.
Space the balls on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake one tray at a time for 10–12 minutes, depending on how gooey you prefer them (10 minutes for gooey, 12 for firmer cookies).
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for up to one hour before moving them.

Best Ways to Enjoy Brownie Mix Cookies

To truly savor your brownie mix cookies, consider pairing them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert experience. Alternatively, serve them warm with a glass of cold milk for a classic treat. For a fun twist, try drizzling them with caramel or chocolate sauce before serving—what a delightful addition!

How to Store & Freeze

To keep your leftover brownie mix cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze cookies by placing them in a single layer on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer them to a freezer bag. They will keep well for up to three months. When you’re ready to enjoy them, thaw at room temperature or pop them in the microwave for a few seconds.

Pro Chef Tips

If you want extra fudgy cookies, consider slightly underbaking them.
Add a pinch of sea salt on top before baking for a savory-sweet contrast.
Mix in your favorite nuts or dried fruits for added texture.

Creative Twists

Feeling adventurous? Here are a few variations to try:

Mint Chocolate: Use mint chocolate chips for a refreshing twist.
Peanut Butter: Stir in a tablespoon of peanut butter for rich, nutty flavor.
Nut-Free: Substitute chocolate chips with mini marshmallows for a fun, chewy texture.
