Tips for Making Cookies from Brownie Mix
- Use Less Liquid
Brownie mix is meant to be pourable for pans, so to turn it into cookie dough, use less water or oil than the box calls for. Example:- 1 box brownie mix
- 1 egg (instead of 2)
- 1/4 cup oil
- No water (or just 1 tbsp if needed)
- Chill the Dough
Let the dough chill for 15–30 minutes before baking. This helps prevent spreading and gives thicker, chewier cookies. - Add Mix-Ins
Elevate the flavor and texture with:- Chocolate chips or chunks
- Nuts (walnuts or pecans work great)
- M&Ms, peanut butter chips, or toffee bits
- Watch the Bake Time
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes. Don’t overbake! They’ll set more as they cool. - Use a Cookie Scoop
For even cookies that bake uniformly, scoop dough into balls before baking. - Customize the Texture
- For chewy cookies: Use more brown sugar or a bit of honey/maple syrup.
- For cakey cookies: Add an extra egg white.
