Can’t pick between a brownie and a cookie? We understand; that happens to us, too. This recipe combines them both into delicious brownie mix chocolate chip cookies.
About this Brownie Mix Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
This recipe takes a homemade brownie recipe and dollops it into chocolate chip cookies. This makes a brownie more convenient (less crummy fingers) and more transportable (lunchtime brownie, anyone?). Hooray! These brownie mix chocolate chip cookies combine the best thing about brownies (fudgy center) with the best thing about cookies (crispy edge). We like to fold chocolate chips into the brownies, for some extra chocolate flavor, but you could equally sub in a range of different flavors — butterscotch chips or peanut butter chips, if that’s your taste. We often eat these cookies plain, which emphasizes their deep dark chocolatey-ness.
These cookies are a favorite any time of the year: They are fun to dip in white chocolate and sprinkle with some fun seasonal sprinkles (see our halloween themed ones above!). Or, in the summer, they make an excellent base for an ice cream sandwich. Regardless of the season, these favorite desserts are always best served with a cold glass of milk
