Made from only four ingredients, these cookies are chocolatey, fudgy and pleasing for brownie and cookie lovers alike. Add crushed candy canes to dress them up for the holiday

Brownie Mix Cookies

18.3-ounce box fudge brownie mix

(8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted

chocolate

Arrange the racks in the upper and lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Stir together the brownie mix, butter and egg in a large bowl until smooth and combined, then fold in the chocolate chunks. 

Scoop 24 balls of dough (about 2 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheets. Use the palm of your hand to gently press each ball into a thick disk. Bake until the cookies spread and the edges are just set, rotating the trays halfway through, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

I've made these twice for our annual cookie exchange, and they've been a huge hit! Everyone asks me for the recipe. I use Ghirardelli dark chocolate brownie mix and add toasted walnuts as well as chocolate chips. I also brown the butter before adding it and I sprinkle in a tsp of freeze dried coffee granules. They take about 15 minutes in my oven and I watch them carefully, rotating the pans halfway through. It's true that the dough is quite stiff, but they aren't hard to form into balls and press slightly before baking. Really, really good!<br />

the cookies were way to greasy so they wouldn't firm up and all in all this was a waste of time and resources.

I really liked these cookies.  There’s a but—to me, the baking time is a bit ambiguous.  I baked for a total of 20 minutes which in hindsight, I think is not what the instructions meant. I baked 10 minutes then switched to the opposite racks. They turned out very crispy, which I don’t mind. Luckily, they did not burn. 

Make sure you use the right size brownie mix…the size it calls for is Family Size! Worked perfectly for me :) 

DO NOT use one full stick of butter for this recipe, I would absolutely not recommend this recipe! Put my brownie cookies in the oven following the exact directions and they completely spread out and flattened. Horrible.

Came out perfectly. I added a little peppermint flavor and topped with crushed candycanes. Loved by both adults and children..

actually this was a great, easy short cut for a chocolatey cookie.  my dough was not dry or runny.  i added mint flavored chocolate truffle morsels and was loved by all.
