Brownie Cookies
Description
Brownie Cookies use a boxed brownie mix combined with a bit of additional flour, eggs, melted butter, and water to create a thick, scoopable dough. Into this dough, chocolate chips and M&M’s candy pieces fold in evenly, adding textural contrast and bursts of candy flavor.
The dough is portioned into tablespoon-sized balls spaced on a parchment-lined baking sheet then baked at 375°F for 10 to 12 minutes. They are finished by pressing extra M&M’s candy on top as soon as they come out of the oven to add color and candy texture before cooling briefly on the baking sheet and then moving to a wire rack.
The cookies have a fudgy center reminiscent of brownies and a slight chewiness with a candy crunch. This makes them a convenient, hand-held chocolate treat with familiar brownie taste enhanced by the candies.
Variations are easy using seasonal colored M&M’s for holidays or swapping the chocolate chips for caramel chips or Reese’s Pieces. These adaptations add playful color and flavor shifts.
