How to Make Cookies from Brownie Mix
1. Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
2. Make the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, oil, and flour. Stir until a thick dough forms. It’ll be denser than brownie batter but still a little sticky — that’s perfect!
3. Add Your Mix-ins
Fold in about 1 cup of your favorite add-ins if you’re using them. Chocolate chips are a classic, but feel free to get creative.
4. Scoop and Bake
Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto your prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten them slightly with the back of a spoon for more even baking.
Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
5. Cool
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set up without overbaking.
Tips for Perfect Brownie Mix Cookies
-
Don’t overbake. The cookies will firm up as they cool. Overbaking will make them dry instead of chewy.
-
Chill the dough. If the dough feels too sticky, pop it in the fridge for 20–30 minutes before scooping.

Use parchment paper. This makes clean-up easy and keeps the cookies from sticking.
-
Customize the flavor. Add a teaspoon of espresso powder for extra chocolate depth, or a splash of vanilla extract for richness.
Variations to Try
-
Double Chocolate: Add dark chocolate chunks or drizzle with melted chocolate.
-
Nutty: Stir in chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch.

Peanut Butter Lovers: Add peanut butter chips or a swirl of peanut butter in the dough.
-
Holiday Fun: Toss in red and green M&Ms or sprinkles for a festive touch.
How to Store Brownie Mix Cookies
Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Want to keep them longer? They freeze beautifully! Place cooled cookies in a freezer-safe bag or container, separating layers with parchment paper. Freeze for up to 2 months.
To enjoy, thaw at room temperature or pop one in the microwave for a few seconds to bring back that fresh-baked feel.
