These chewy and fudgy brownie mix cookies are quick to make, irresistibly chocolatey, and perfect for any occasion. Using a box of brownie mix and simple pantry staples, you’ll have homemade-tasting cookies in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (18-20 oz) brownie mix
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, semisweet or dark)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, vegetable oil, and water until combined.
  3. Add the brownie mix and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Fold in chocolate chips, nuts, and salt if using. Add any other mix-ins at this stage.
  5. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until edges are set but centers are still soft.
  7. Remove from oven and let cookies sit on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt while still warm, if desired.

Notes

For extra chewy cookies, add an extra egg yolk. Chill dough for 10-15 minutes if too sticky. Customize with nuts, chocolate chips, or seasonal add-ins. Use gluten-free or dairy-free brownie mix for dietary needs. Do not overbake for fudgy centers.
