Description
These cookies blend the rich, chewy texture of a brownie with crunchy bits, gooey caramel, and melted chocolate in every bite. Made with a brownie mix base, they’re easy to customize and perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients
-
1 box of brownie mix (18–20 oz)
-
½ cup all-purpose flour
-
⅓ cup vegetable oil
-
2 large eggs
-
½ cup chocolate chips
-
½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, etc.)
-
¼ cup caramel bits
-
1 tsp instant espresso powder (for a little coffee kick!)
-
½ cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (dark cocoa with cream filling)
Instructions
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper to make cleanup a breeze.
In a large bowl, whisk together the brownie mix and flour until well combined. Then add the vegetable oil and eggs, stirring until the mixture comes together. The dough will be thick, but that’s exactly what we want!
Now comes the fun part—fold in your mix-ins! Whether you choose chocolate chips, nuts, caramel bits, or any of the other optional ingredients, mix gently until evenly distributed.
Scoop the dough into 1.5-tablespoon-sized balls (a cookie scoop works great for this!). Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on your prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft. Don’t worry—they’ll firm up as they cool.
Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. If you can wait that long, go ahead and enjoy these chewy, gooey, chocolatey treats!
Notes
-
For an extra indulgent treat, drizzle the cookies with melted chocolate or top with a sprinkle of sea salt before serving.
