Title: Easy Brownie Cookies Recipe
Key Points:
– These brownie cookies feature crispy edges, a chewy center, and a rich chocolate taste.
– Made with just boxed brownie mix, an egg, and butter, they are quick to prepare.
– Ready in about 20 minutes from start to finish.
I have a strong love for chocolate and seek it out daily, whether in the form of a delicious dessert like a cookie or brownie, or a high-quality treat. Sometimes, I even resort to snacking on chocolate chips when in need.
Fortunately, I always have this go-to recipe for chocolate cookies. It’s so simple that you’ll soon have it memorized too. The secret lies in using a boxed brownie mix, combined with an egg and melted butter to create a perfect cookie dough.
The resulting brownie cookies boast a delightful combination of crispy edges, a chewy center, and a flavor that satisfies my chocolate cravings. Moreover, this recipe only requires three ingredients, and you’ll have your first batch of cookies ready in under 20 minutes.
Selecting the Right Brownie Mix:
While any standard brownie mix works for this recipe, not all mixes are equal. Ghiradelli offers some of the best brownie mixes, particularly those with added chocolate chips like Double Chocolate, Triple Chocolate, and Ultimate Chocolate.
Though any typical brownie mix will suffice, the richer in chocolate, the better. Opt for mixes with chocolate chips for an added bonus. Note that I have not tested this with gluten-free mix, so proceed at your own discretion.
Instructions for Making 3-Ingredient Brownie Cookies:
To make around 18 cookies, gather the following:
– 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
– 1 large egg
– 1 (18 to 19-ounce) box of brownie mix, preferably Ghiradelli’s
– Optional: 1/3 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips, flaky salt for finishing
Preheat the oven to 350°F, line baking sheets, mix the ingredients, scoop out the batter, bake the cookies, and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Enhancements for Brownie Cookies:
Consider adding chocolate chips, flaky salt, instant espresso powder, toasted nuts like walnuts or pecans, or crumbled freeze-dried raspberries for unique and flavorful twists.
