Loaded Brownie Mix Cookies (with chocolate chips)
These are the BEST Brownie Mix Cookies with chewy edges and a gooey center! This easy recipe is fun to make for brownie lovers.
Y’all know I’m a lazy baker! Most of my dessert recipes here start with a mix or pre-made pie crust, and I’m totally okay with it! This brownie mix cookie recipe makes absolute magic out of a box of brownie mix. I promise you’ll love these brownie mix cookies.
I consider myself a savory cook, so all of the measuring involved in baking can be a little painful for me. But I definitely love to EAT desserts, even if making them isn’t my favorite activity!

This easy brownie cookies recipe starts with boxed brownie mix and simple ingredients! I love them because they have that fudgy brownie texture.
A delicious fudgy center with crispy edges is my idea of the perfect cookie!
Brownie Mix Cookie Ingredients
These chewy cookies at the perfect things for chocolate lovers! To make them, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- Fudge Brownie Box Mix: I used Pillsbury brownie mix, but you can use your favorite brand. Betty Crocker brownie mix is fine. I also love to use Ghirardelli Brownie Mix when I have it on hand! You can use gluten-free brownie mix for gluten-free cookies.
- All-purpose flour: You will need to add a bit of flour so the dough can hold a normal cookie form. I used unbleached all-purpose flour. You can substitute with a gluten-free all-purpose flour if needed, I like Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 or Cup4Cup.
- Eggs
- Vegetable Oil: Any neutral tasting oil will work fine in this recipe.
- Mini chocolate chips: You can also substitute white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, chocolate chunks, dark chocolate chips or peanut butter chips.
- Mini M&M candies: These add fun and color to the cookies (and a little crunch), but you can omit them. Or substitute with extra chocolate chips! You could also add nuts like walnuts, pecans or almonds, or mix in festive sprinkles.
What supplies will I need for this brownie mix cookie recipe?
You will need a mixing bowl and spoon, a rubber spatula, measuring cups and spoons, a large baking sheet or sheet pan, a wire cooling rack and a medium cookie scoop.
What size cookie scoop did you use?
I used a medium-sized scoop equal to about 1.5 tablespoons.
Feel free to use a small cookie scoop or large cookie scoop to make different sized cookies! But please know you’ll need to keep an eye on the bake time if you use a different sized scoop.
Can I freeze these Brownie Mix Cookies?
Yes! Allow the baked cookies to cool completely. Freeze them for 1 hour in a single layer on a baking sheet before placing in a freezer-safe container.
The cookies can be frozen for up to 1 month without loss in quality. Thaw at room temperature before eating.
Serving Suggestions
I love to serve brownie mix cookies just a bit warm with a cold glass of milk! For a more adult beverage, make something fun like this Chocolate Pudding Shots.
If you’d like to add more cookies to the mix, I recommend these Chocolate Chip Marshmallow Cookies, Gluten Free Oatmeal Raisin Cookies and Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies!
How do I store these brownie cookies?
Store these Brownie Mix Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
You can keep a piece of white bread in the container with the cookies to keep them softer, if desired. They can get hard after a few days.

Easy Brownie Mix Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 box fudge brownie mix, see notes
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour, 49g
- 2 eggs, large
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil, 78 mL
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips, 85g, plus more for topping
- ½ cup mini M&M’s, 110g, plus more for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Add the dry brownie mix, all-purpose flour, eggs, and oil to a large bowl. Mix by hand or with a hand mixer until well-combined. The batter will be thick.
- Use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to fold in the mini chocolate chips and mini M&M’s.
- Using a cookie scoop, place scoops of dough 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are set but the middle is still fudgy and slightly undercooked. Take care not to over-bake the cookies, I start to check the cookies around 7 minutes. If you bake for too much time, the cookies will be hard as a rock!
- Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately place a few extra mini chocolate chips and mini M&M’s on top of the cookie.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet or a wire rack 10-15 minutes before removing to cool completely.

This recipe looks like it would be delicious…but is there a conversion for the ingredients from grams and ML to cups?…I’m used to reading everything in cups or teaspoons…

How many cookies does this make?
Hi Christy! I’m sorry, that field wasn’t displaying correctly for some reason. I have it fixed, and it makes 18-24 cookies depending on scoop size.
My new favorite version of these is peanut butter M&M minis!
Okay that sounds amazing! My favorite M&M’s.
It was very hard to find measurements of the ingredients.
Hi Maryellen! I’m sorry you had trouble! There is a button at the very top of the page labeled “Jump to Recipe.” If you click that, it will drop you right off at the ingredients list and instructions!
