If you\u2019re craving that fudgy, crackly-top brownie goodness but want the hand-held convenience of a cookie, you\u2019re in luck. These are often called “Brookies” or “Brownie Cookies,” and they are dangerously easy to make.<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n

The secret is reducing the liquid from a standard brownie recipe so the dough stays thick enough to scoop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 5-Ingredient Brownie Mix Cookies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This recipe yields cookies that are crispy on the edges and soft\/fudgy in the middle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • 1 box (approx. 18 oz) Brownie Mix<\/strong> (Ghirardelli or Betty Crocker work great)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 2 Large Eggs<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1\/3 cup Neutral Oil<\/strong> (Vegetable or Canola)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 tbsp All-purpose Flour<\/strong> (Helps them hold their shape)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1\/2 cup Chocolate Chips<\/strong> (Optional, but highly recommended)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \n\n\n\n

    Instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Preheat & Prep:<\/strong> Heat your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C)<\/strong>. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Mix:<\/strong> In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and oil together. Add the brownie mix and the tablespoon of flour. Stir until a thick, tacky dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Scoop:<\/strong> Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Bake:<\/strong> Bake for 9\u201311 minutes<\/strong>.Pro Tip:<\/strong> Don\u2019t overbake! They will look slightly underdone and soft when you pull them out, but they\u2019ll firm up as they cool.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Cool:<\/strong> Let them rest on the baking sheet for at least 5-10 minutes before moving them. They are fragile when hot!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Add-on<\/strong><\/td>Why it works<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>
      Sea Salt<\/strong><\/td>Sprinkle a pinch on top right after baking to cut the sweetness.<\/td><\/tr>
      Peanut Butter<\/strong><\/td>Swirl a teaspoon of creamy PB into the dough balls before baking.<\/td><\/tr>
      Walnuts\/Pecans<\/strong><\/td>Adds a necessary crunch to the fudgy texture.<\/td><\/tr>

      Why use the extra flour?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Standard brownie mix is designed to be a liquid batter. By adding just $1 \\text{ tbsp}$ of flour and using fewer liquids than the box calls for, you change the structure to support a “dome” shape rather than a flat puddle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
