FAQs
Can I use any brand of brownie mix?
Yes, any standard 18–19 oz box of brownie mix works well. Avoid mixes with extra add-ins or swirl packets for best results.
Do I need to chill the dough?
No chilling is necessary. The dough is thick enough to bake immediately.
What if my dough is too sticky?
You can add an extra tablespoon of flour if the dough is overly sticky, but avoid overmixing.
Can I use butter instead of oil?
Yes, melted butter can be substituted for oil for a richer flavor, though the texture may be slightly different.
How do I know when the cookies are done?
The edges should be set while the centers look slightly underbaked. They’ll firm up as they cool.
Can I make them gluten-free?
Yes, use a gluten-free brownie mix and ensure your add-ins are gluten-free as well.
Can I make them vegan?
Use a vegan brownie mix and substitute the eggs with flax eggs and oil with a plant-based alternative.
Why are my cookies spreading too much?
Check your oven temperature and avoid overmixing. You can also refrigerate the dough for 10–15 minutes before baking.
Can I make this dough ahead?
Yes, the dough can be stored covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking.
How should I store leftover cookies?
Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature. For longer freshness, freeze them individually.
