Description

These Brownie Mix Cookies are soft, chewy, and packed with rich chocolate flavor. Made with just four ingredients — brownie mix, oil, egg, and chocolate chips — this quick dessert delivers bakery-quality cookies with minimal effort. Perfect for busy bakers and chocolate lovers alike, these cookies combine the best of brownies and cookies in every bite.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (18 oz) box brownie mix – provides the chocolate base and structure
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil – adds moisture and keeps cookies soft
  • 1 egg – binds ingredients and enhances chewiness
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips – adds extra bursts of chocolate flavor
  • 1 tablespoon water (optional) – helps bind dough if it’s too crumbly

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, vegetable oil, and egg. Stir until the mixture forms a thick dough.
  3. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed. If the dough appears crumbly, add 1 tablespoon of water to bring it together.
  4. Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gently press each ball down slightly.
  5. Bake for 7–8 minutes. The cookies should look slightly soft in the center but will firm up as they cool.
  6. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2–3 minutes before transferring to a plate or container. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Do not overbake; cookies continue to cook slightly as they cool.
  • If your oven runs hot, use an oven thermometer to maintain accuracy.
  • Use parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking and achieve even baking.
  • For extra richness, substitute butter for oil or add mix-ins like nuts or toffee bits.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
