Simple Brownie Mix Cookies Recipe

These brownie mix cookies boast a fudgy and chewy texture, requiring only simple mixing before baking. With a box of brownie mix and standard pantry items plus candies, this simple cookie recipe makes a perfect holiday confection for Bildirimlerim.

In my Canadian residence, sourcing certain festive candies common in the United States can be challenging. I was delighted to locate red and green M&Ms at our local store, purchasing a package to inspire a fun baking project.

I discovered this remarkably fast and straightforward brownie mix cookie recipe and was very pleased with the final results.

Reasons to Enjoy These Box Brownie Cookies

This uncomplicated recipe is ideal for when you need a quick batch of cookies. For celebrations other than Christmas, or even a regular day, you can substitute other colored M&Ms or incorporate additions like peanut butter chips, nuts, or white chocolate chips.

What You Need

(Consult the printable recipe card at the end of this post for precise measurements.)

• 1 box Betty Crocker brownie mix
• eggs
• canola oil (or any vegetable oil)
• all purpose flour
• vanilla
• M&Ms

Steps for Simple Brownie Mix Cookies

• Set your oven temperature to 350 degrees and prepare 2 baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or a silicone mat; greasing the pan is an acceptable alternative if you lack these.
• In a large or medium bowl, combine every component except the M&Ms. After thoroughly mixing the chocolate brownie cookie dough, gently fold in the M&Ms.
• Using a small cookie scoop, portion the dough into 1 Tablespoon balls onto the prepared sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. (Ensure the dough balls remain unflattened before baking!)
• Bake for 10-12 minutes until the center is set. When gently pressed, the top of the cookie should return slightly.
• As soon as they exit the oven, place a few more red and green M&Ms onto the surface of each cookie.
• Allow them to cool for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack for complete cooling.

Tips

• If your cookies spread excessively during baking, incorporate more flour. Aim for a thick dough that holds its shape as a ball on the baking sheet; perform a test bake to confirm the proper consistency if uncertain.
• To achieve a chewy brownie cookie with a fudgy interior, avoid overbaking; we prefer gooey brownies with chewy edges over those that are crispy around the edges!

Ingredient Swaps

For this recipe, I utilized a 440 gram, or 15 ounce, box of Betty Crocker brownie mix with chocolate chunks. While many brownie mix cookie recipes suggest an 18 ounce box, which might yield even better results, finding certain products in Canada can present a challenge.

Alternative brownie mix brands, such as ghirardelli brownie mix, will also suit this preparation, provided you use a minimum of 15 to 18 ounces of the mix.

Recipe Variations for Boxed Chocolate Brownie Cookies

You are welcome to personalize these cookies by incorporating 1 cup of any desired additions. Some suggestions include:

• White chocolate chips
• Milk or dark chocolate chips
• Diced nuts like pecans, walnuts, or almonds

To create a luxurious treat, pair these simple brownie mix cookies with a scoop of ice cream drizzled with chocolate sauce for a brownie cookie sundae!
