A quick and easy cookie recipe using just three pantry staples: brownie mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. These cookies have a fudgy inside, crinkly top, and perfect balance of chew and crisp.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box brownie mix (about 18.3 oz / 520 g)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) vegetable oil
  • Optional: powdered sugar for rolling dough balls

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, 2 large eggs, and 1/3 cup (80 ml) vegetable oil. Use an electric mixer on medium speed or whisk vigorously until smooth and well blended.
  3. Optional: Chill the batter for 15 minutes if it feels too soft to help with shaping and prevent spreading.
  4. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  5. Optional: Roll each dough ball in powdered sugar before placing on the tray for a classic crinkle look.
  6. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are set and slightly crisp but centers still look soft.
  7. Remove from oven and let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Rolling dough balls in powdered sugar before baking enhances the crinkle effect and adds subtle sweetness. Room temperature eggs blend better. Watch oven closely to avoid overbaking. Chilling dough helps prevent spreading. Variations include adding nuts, chocolate chips, or spices.
