The eggs held bind the cookies together. I have not tried using a Vegan egg replacement in this recipe. However, I have had success using unsweetened applesauce in place of eggs previously. See these Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies for more tips and tricks.
Both gluten free brownie mix and regular brownie mix work well. Everything from Betty Crocker to Ghirardelli to Trader Joe’s boxed mixes can be used. Check out more of my favorite Trader Joe’s Gluten Free products.
A little flour helps thicken the dough. Both gluten free 1 to 1 flour and all purpose flour work.
Use a neutral flavored oil. Avocado oil, vegetable oil, and light olive oil are great options.
A little vanilla extract adds a classic cookie flavor.
Add more chocolate chips and a pinch of sea salt if desired. When in doubt, always add more chocolate!

First, preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs vigorously for 2 minutes.
Step 3
Then, add in brownie mix, flour, avocado oil and vanilla extract. Stir until a thick dough is formed.
Step 4
Fold in chocolate chips.
Step 5
Use an ice cream scoop to scoop balls of dough onto lined baking pan.
Step 6
Bake for 10 minutes or until the cookies are just barely done in the middle. They are meant to be gooey!
Step 7
Finally, remove from oven. Cool on pan for 10 minutes before carefully transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Expert Tips & Tricks
Both gluten free brownie mix and regular brownie mix can be used.
This recipe calls for 16 ounces of brownie mix. Some brownie mixes are 20 ounces. Since 16 ounces is 2 cups, measure out brownie mix and either discard or save any extra mix.
If desired, add a pinch of sea salt to the cookie dough.
Cookie dough will resemble traditional chocolate chip cookie dough except it will be chocolaty. The dough itself may look a little more greasy than regular cookie dough. This is due to the oil.
Cookie size determines baking time. For larger cookies, like the ones shown here, bake for 10 minutes. I used a cookie scoop and it made 8 large cookies.
For smaller cookies, bake only 8 to 9 minutes.
Bake cookies only until the middles are slightly set. These cookies are meant to be gooey!
Flavor Variations & Add Ins
Consider adding these ingredients to your brownie mix cookie dough before baking.
M&Ms
Crushed Oreos
Mini chocolate chips
White chocolate chips
Chopped walnuts
Chopped pecans
Dash of cinnamon
Chopped peanut butter cups
Pinch of espresso powder
Turn your brownie mix into Brownie Cake!
How to Serve & Store
Serve brownie mix cookies once cool enough to handle. They pair well with milk, coffee, and hot chocolate.
For a delicious dessert, serve with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream or fudge sauce.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
They are also delicious straight from the fridge!
Freeze for up to 2 months.
