Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Cookie Ingredients
- 18 ounces brownie mix (510 grams, Ghirardelli Chocolate Supreme recommended, 1 box)
- 2 large eggs (100 grams, room temperature)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (57 grams, melted, ½ stick)
- 1 cup mini M&M’s (177 grams)
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to prevent sticking during baking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, melted butter, and mini M&M’s. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated into a dough.
- Chill Dough: Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate the cookie dough for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking.
- Form Cookies: After chilling, scoop heaping tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing at least 2 inches apart. Arrange about 6 cookies on a medium-sized sheet or up to 12 on a large sheet to allow room for spreading.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 11 to 12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are set and slightly firm to the touch, indicating they are perfectly baked.
- Cool Cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up, then transfer them carefully to a cooling rack to cool completely before serving. Repeat the process with any remaining dough.
Notes
- For best results, use Ghirardelli Chocolate Supreme brownie mix as recommended for rich flavor and texture.
- Ensure eggs are at room temperature to help the dough mix smoothly.
- Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading and results in thicker cookies.
- You can substitute mini M&M’s with regular-sized M&M’s if mini are unavailable, though you may want to slightly break larger pieces for uniform distribution.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for optimal freshness.
