Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (18 oz or 510 g) fudgy brownie mix
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar, for rolling
- Optional: 1/2 cup (90 g) chocolate chips or chunks
- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- In a large bowl, combine the entire box of brownie mix with 1/2 cup vegetable oil and 2 large eggs. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
- Fold in optional chocolate chips or nuts if using.
- Place 1 cup powdered sugar in a shallow bowl. Scoop dough balls about 1.5 inches in diameter and roll each ball generously in powdered sugar until fully coated.
- Arrange dough balls on prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until tops are set and cracked but centers remain slightly soft.
- Let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use room temperature eggs for better texture. Rolling dough in powdered sugar is essential for the crinkle effect. Chill dough if too sticky. Space cookies 2 inches apart to prevent merging. Rotate baking sheets halfway through baking for even cooking. Use high-quality brownie mix for best flavor. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
