There is so much to love about this Brownie Mix Cookie recipe. You can make these incredible semi-homemade chocolaty and fudgy brownie cookies in less than 20 minutes. These are so easy to whip up and everyone will love them!
I especially love how the texture of these cookies resembles an extra fudgy brownie. The center is ultra-soft and gooey and the edges are perfectly chewy with the same texture as a brownie corner.
If you don’t have time to bake cookies from scratch, baking cookies from cake mix are always a good idea. Some other favorite cake mix cookies are Lemon Crinkle Cookies, Funfetti Cake Mix Cookies, Frosted Funfetti Cookie Bars, and Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies.
INGREDIENTS
Brownie mix: you can use any brand you prefer, Betty Crocker, Duncan Hines, Ghiradelli are some of my favorites. I love using the fudge flavor for denser cookies.
Oil: this will make the cookies soft. You can use either vegetable or canola oil.
Eggs: it’s always best if the eggs are room temperature. This will help the ingredients mix together better.
Chocolate chips: these are optional. You can add more or less than the recipe calls for. If you want these brownie cookies to be extra rich adn chocolatey, I highly recommend it 🙂
Flour: just a little bit is needed to help bind the cookie dough together.
Sprinkles: for fun! Switch out the sprinkle colors for different occasions and holidays.
HOW TO MAKE COOKIES FROM BROWNIE MIX
COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICH
These brownie cookies make the best dessert sandwich cookie! Simply add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to the center and top with another cookie. You could also use marshmallow fluff.
Cookie sandwiches are so fun to make all year round and kids will also be so thrilled with this treat.
RECIPE TIPS & VARIATIONS
- Use a cookie scoop to make perfectly round shaped cookies.
- Switch out the sprinkles for different occasions. Use rainbow sprinkles for a birthday, red and green for Christmas, black and orange for Halloween, or omit the sprinkles if you wish.
- Add more chocolate. These brownie cookies are already chocolatey as is, but you can add more chocolate chips than the recipe calls for. You can also drizzle melted chocolate on top or dunk half the cookie in chocolate.
- Switch out the chocolate chips for chopped nuts, toffee bits, peanut butter chips, caramel bits, crushed Oreos, or white chocolate chips.

Brownie Mix Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix; fudge any brand
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 2 whole large eggs
- 1/4 cup flour
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips; optional
- sprinkles; optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat mats.
- In a large bowl, mix together the brownie mix, oil, eggs, chocolate chips, and flour. Mix until combined.
- Use a mini cookie scoop (or 2 tablespoons of dough) and place on prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Top with sprinkles and bake for 10 minutes. The cookies will seem underbaked and that's perfectly OK. This is how they will get super fudgy.
- Let the cookies cool to set for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
Notes
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container or ziplock container for up to 5 days in a cool area.
- Freeze any leftover cookies in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container for up to 3 months. Let thaw in the refrigerator or counter.
