Description

These Loaded Brownie Mix Cookies are a delightful twist on classic brownies, combining the rich, fudgy texture of brownie batter with the fun and convenience of cookies. Packed with chocolate chips, walnuts, and optional colorful M&Ms or gooey mini marshmallows, these cookies are perfect for a quick and indulgent treat. They bake up soft in the center with a slightly crisp edge, making them an irresistible snack or dessert for any occasion.


Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 box brownie mix (any variety)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix-Ins

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (or nuts of your choice)
  • 1/4 cup M&Ms or mini marshmallows (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brownie mix, all-purpose flour, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the vegetable oil, crack in the eggs, and add the vanilla extract. Stir the mixture thoroughly until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
  4. Incorporate Mix-Ins: Gently fold the chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, and optional M&Ms or mini marshmallows into the batter, ensuring they are evenly dispersed throughout.
  5. Form Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes. The cookies are done when the edges are set but the centers remain soft and slightly gooey.
  7. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes to firm up. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps maintain their chewy texture.

Notes

  • You can customize the mix-ins with your favorite nuts, candies, or dried fruits.
  • Do not overbake; the centers should remain soft for the best texture.
  • Storing cookies in an airtight container keeps them fresh for up to 4 days.
  • For a more intense chocolate flavor, use a fudge brownie mix if available.
  • Optional: Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before baking if you prefer thicker cookies.
