These make some delicious cookies! They were so chocolatey and fudgy and couldn’t have been easier to whip up.
This cookie recipe is so flavorful and really easy to make! So delicious and very easy to follow! Highly recommended!
I love to make homemade cookies. These are easy to make and delicious. It soothed my cravings for chocolate, thanks!
Using brownie mix is a brilliant idea and it makes these cookies a breeze to knock together!
I needed a quick and easy dessert and had a box of brownie mix on hand! Those cookies are a lifesaver and I have a feeling I will be buying a lot more brownie mix in the near future
Absolutely delicious recipe! Loved how easy and tasty the biscuits are!
My grandpa used to make cookies like these! They were delicious and so is your recipe! Thank you for sharing.
Loved the texture of how these cookies came out. They were so easy! We ate the batch in two days!
These cookies are the way to my heart!!! I love Brownie anything!
I made these using the exact measurements as stated in the recipe (also used the same box of brownie mix as pictured) but the batter/dough was runny and was more like a batter than a dough. I couldn’t use the cookie scooper to make little balls as it was too runny. What did I do wrong?
I am sorry you had a bad results let’s see if we can figure this out. First check your box size Duncan Hines makes a smaller box than the 18.3oz. Just curious did you watch the video to see if you did anything different ?Like using a mixer instead of mixing by hand ,It is located on the bottom of the recipe card. You should be able to drop it by the spoon full or cookie scoop. You won’t be able to roll it in balls though. I make this recipe often and have never had it runny, slightly sticky but not runny. Over mixing the batter could effect the results as well. I will add to the recipe card if the dough is too runny you can add AP flour but I have never had to do this.
If you use betty crocker brownie mix it does not contain baking soda so you have to add it or choose a brand with it already in the brownie mix. Ive made cookies with many brands but the Betty crocker so far has has best results from experience.
However with Betty crocker idk the size box I get it for 1.99 at Kroger I think it’s like 16 something oz? Lol. I add 3 tbsp of all purpose flour and 3 tbsp cocoa powder. pinch of salt, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1 tsp cream of tartar. 2 eggs(room temp) and I use 1/3 cup coconut oil(melted) instead of vegetable oil but you can use just about any light oil or butter. It’s optional but 1-2 tsp of espresso powder can enhance the taste as well. After mixing everything together I will fold in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips
What has made the BIGGEST difference in the way they turn out is if they are refrigerated. I will use a cookie scoop and scoop out all the cookies as I’ll cook them and place them in the fridge for no less than 2-3 hours or overnight. Add couple chocolate chips on the tops of the cookies and bake. However, I only have a little toaster/convection oven(young and tight budget) so I can only bake a few at a time I do it @ 250°F for 8-12 mins and they turn out lovely. If using a normal kitchen oven 350 for 10 mins should be ok just keep an eye on them after 5 mins to be sure.
I am now (after posting this)about to try this recipe as you’ve shown. As instructed only with coconut oil instead of butter. It’s that or margarine cause I’m out of butter! Lol. Thanks for the recipe!
