These easy brownie mix cookies are rich, fudgy and simple to make with a brownie mix, vegetable oil, flour, eggs and chocolate chips. They are the ultimate chocolate cookies!
Why I Love This Recipe
- Easy to make: No time to bake a homemade brownie or my brownie cookies from scratch? Brownie mix cookies are made with a brownie baking mix!
- Chewy brownie texture: This brownie mix cookie recipe has the chewy, gooey texture of a brownie but slightly crisp edges like a double chocolate chip cookie!
- Rich chocolate flavor: Chocolate lovers rejoice! These cookies have a fudgy center made with both a chocolatey brownie mix and chocolate chips.
Ingredient Notes
- Brownie box mix: Any brand of an 18 – 18.3 ounce boxed brownie mix works for this easy brownie mix cookies recipe! I prefer Ghirardelli brownie mix.
- Flour: Just a small amount of all-purpose flour is needed to obtain a thick cookie dough consistency instead of a thin brownie batter consistency.
- Vegetable oil: You can also use melted butter to add fat and moisture, although vegetable oil is my preference as that results in more of a brownie texture.
- Eggs: Two eggs act as a binder and help the brownie mix cookies bind together.
- Chocolate chips: Regular sized chocolate chips or mini chocolate chips both work! If your brownie mix has chocolate chips, omit the added chocolate chips but reserve some for the tops.
How to Make Brownie Mix Cookies
In a large bowl, stir the brownie mix, flour, oil, and eggs until combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Using a large cookie scoop, scoop brownie cookie dough balls onto a prepared cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Top with additional chocolate chips and bake at 365°F for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are set but centers are still slightly doughy.
Let cool a couple minutes on the baking sheet and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Cooling your brownie mix cookie completely will help the bottom of the cookie set.
Recipe Variations and Tips
- Try peanut butter chips, white chocolate chips or even butterscotch chips.
- Mix in 1/2 cup M&M’s and 1/2 cup chocolate chips, add in 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans or add in somse vanilla extract.
- Like my Rolo cookies, roll a rolo into the center for a caramel center.
- For a sweet and salty combination, sprinkle the cookies with flake sea salt.
- You do not need the ingredients listed on the back of the brownie mix box!
- For fudgy brownie cookies, do not overbake. The edges should look set but the center should still be doughy.

Ingredients
- 1 (18-ounce) box brownie mix
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ vegetable oil , or melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup chocolate chips , plus more for tops
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 365°F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
