Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 box (18 to 18.4 ounces) brownie mix
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier. Place the powdered sugar in a small bowl and set aside for coating the cookie dough balls.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix and flour. Whisk them together to break up any lumps and ensure the flour is evenly distributed throughout the brownie mix.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients and Form Dough: Add the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredient mixture. Stir well until a thick dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  4. Shape and Coat Cookies: Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion the dough into even-sized balls. Roll each ball in the powdered sugar until fully coated, then place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  5. Bake and Cool: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 minutes at 375°F. Once baked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 10 minutes. Then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to finish cooling completely before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the melted butter is not too hot when added to eggs to prevent curdling.
  • For extra chocolate flavor, consider adding chocolate chips to the dough before baking.
  • The powdered sugar coating helps create a crackled, sweet crust on each cookie.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Allow cookies to cool completely for best texture and flavor.
