Brownie Mix Cookies- The ultimate Boxed Mix Hack!

Sometimes (okay most of the time!) there are just not enough minutes in the day to accomplish everything. I am fairly certain I am not alone in this.

There are also sometimes that you just need some chocolate.. am I right? I know that I am definitely like that.. almost every day. Again, I’m fairly certain I am not alone!!

Let’s be honest, chocolate can fix the fact that your child just spilled their glass of milk for the 6th time that day or the fact that you are folding the 47th load of laundry for the day.

These Brownie Mix Cookies are the perfect Monday Blue’s cure. They come together in literally minutes, so you can have some chocolate goodness in your belly in no time!

Plus, there are so many ways you can mix these up. I like to toss some peanut butter chips into mine sometimes.

How to Make Brownie Mix Cookies

To make the brownie mix cookies, you’ll take one box of brownie mix, 1 stick (1/2 cup) of melted butter, 1 egg and 1/2 cup of flour. Mix all of that together.

That is it.

No, I’m not even kidding!

Stir in any mix in’s you’d like. I like to add extra chocolate chips, peanut butter chips or m&m’s.

Scoop and arrange on a cookie sheet.

Bake at 350° for 8 minutes or until the cookies are no longer glossy on top.

Wait 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.

Best eaten within 24 hours. Although I totally admit to still eating them after a day or two, they just won’t be as chewy and soft.

PS. I think these would make AMAZING ice cream sandwiches.

Brownie Mix Cookies

Brownie Mix Cookies are rich fudgey cookies made from only 4 ingredients! Easily thrown together, these chocolate cookies will be your go-to for now on! Easy, adaptable and delicious! 
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 8 minutes
Additional Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 18 minutes
Servings: 24 small cookies

Ingredients 

  • 1 18 oz box favorite brownie mix
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp milk, if needed*
  • 1 cup mix ins (m+m's, chocolate chips, white chocolate chips etc), if desired

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350° F.
  • Mix together the brownie mix, melted butter, egg and flour. 
  • Add milk to the dough, if needed*
  • If you'd like to add in any mix ins, do that now.
  • Scoop into balls and arrange on a cookie sheet.
  • Bake at 350° for 8 minutes or until the tops are no longer glossy.
  • Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
  • For best results, eat the same day they are made!

Notes

*I like to bake one cookie first alone to gauge if I need to add some milk to the dough or not. If your cookies spread fine, then go ahead and bake them all up. If they stay in a ball and refuse to spread, add the milk to the remaining dough and then scoop and bake.
 
All brownie mixes are different. Ghirardelli brand brownie mix usually does not need the extra milk. Betty Crocker usually does need the milk.

  1. What do you mean by scoop, like an ice cream scoop. The scoops I saw online looked pretty big. How long to cook

  2. I have a cookie scoop, size # 50, that I use when making cookies. I purchased it on amazon. You can just portion out your cookie dough with spoons if you’d like. Aim for about 1 1/2 tbsp of dough per cookie. You can find the cook time in the recipe card along with all of the ingredients and instructions. 🙂 Enjoy!

  3. Thank you for the question. Sometimes I put in some peanut butter chips into the cookies in addition to all the other ingredients. Happy baking!

    I’ve used this recipe so many times to make cake mix cookies or brownie cookies. Over a year ago I went vegan. Now I use vegan butter and I use ground flax seeds mixed with water to replace the egg. I’ll add vegan chocolate chips or nuts dried fruit or other things to stir in. Today I made vegan red velvet cookies with a red velvet cake mix and King David vegan white chocolate chips.
