How to make cookies from brownie mix
Mix Brownie Cookie Batter | Follow the instructions in the recipe card below to prepare your brownie cookie batter in a large bowl. Since the batter is rather thick and sticky it helps to get your hands in there to mix it up really well.
Roll in Powdered Sugar | Form the dough into balls and then roll in powdered sugar. I recommend using a cookie scoop to ensure you get even shaped cookies. If the dough is too sticky and you are having trouble working with it just pop it in the fridge for an hour to stiffen up. It will be much easier to work with after chilling.
Bake | Finally you will bake your brownie cookies and allow them to cool a bit then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Brownie batter cookies are such a fun cookie recipe for the kids to help prepare. Your little helpers will have a blast helping mix the dough, roll the dough into balls, and then cover them in powdered sugar.
Do Brownie Cookies Freeze Well?
Cookies made with brownie mix do freeze nicely.
Some of the powdered sugar can melt off a bit on the cookies, but overall they will still taste yummy!
Just allow the cookies to fully cool. Then you can place them in a freezer bag and store for up to three months. Thaw on the counter and then enjoy whenever you would like.
Can I Use A Gluten-Free Brownie Mix?
If you are gluten-free you should be able to reach for a store-bought brownie mix that is gluten-free. I have not tried this so I can’t say for sure if it will form up the same. But, it should work to convert. I know Betty Crocker has a gluten-free brownie mix you could give a try.
I hope that you enjoy these brownie mix cookies as much as we do!
