These chewy Brownie Mix Cookies are decadent and rich, which is every chocolate lover’s dream. We add chocolate chips to make these delicious cookies extra indulgent and packed with chocolate flavor.

Easy Brownie Mix Cookie Recipe

I love easy and delicious chocolate cookies. Baking hacks also make things so much simpler when you’re a busy parent. With these brownie cookies, you get the yummy brownie flavor and chewy texture in a cookie. The main ingredient is brownie mix, which cuts out time in preparation, but you still get that recognizable and intense chocolatey flavor that we all love in fudgy brownies.

If you have tried cake mix cookies, you are going to fall in love with brownie mix cookies. They are delectably chewy, and the addition of the chocolate chips takes it over the top! The outside of these brownie cookies are exactly like a brownie – a little crispy and flaky. While the inside is nice and fudgy!

Plus, my kids can get involved with making this recipe. Since it’s quick and easy, they can do the majority of the work, and then I put the baking sheet into the oven. They are so proud of their work when they are finished baking. Of course, taste testing will always be their favorite part – and mine, too! Honestly? These are even better than brownies, which I didn’t think was possible. I promise they will all be gone in the blink of an eye!

What You’ll Need

The ingredients needed for these cookies are simple and inexpensive. Most households have most of the staple ingredients consistently stocked in their kitchens!

Leftover brownie cookies can be placed in an airtight container. Store them at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Tips and Tricks

Instead of mini chocolate chips, stir in regular chocolate chips, chocolate chunks, white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips or peanut butter chips. To add some color and extra chocolate, make our M&M Brownie Cookies.
Be careful of using either a dark chocolate or bittersweet chocolate. We are not adding any additional sugar to balance out the bitterness both of these types of chocolate impart.
For crunch, add ¾ cup chopped walnuts or pecans. You can also sprinkle with sea salt.
Want a gooey fudgy center texture? Bake the brownie cookies for 6-8 minutes.
