Have a question. Ingredients list 5-6 tablespoons of water. Instructions say add 2tablespoons and possibly one more. Which is it. I’m a new baker so follow recipes pretty closely.
Thanks, Joan

I searched and came upon what looked like a winner. Oh yeah. No need to refrigerate, it mounded up just fine and baked right away. My add-ins were 1/2 c. each of white choc. chips and craisins, no milk/dark. Going in my recipe box!

I saw in the comments that you used unsalted butter but in the ingredients list it just says butter. Also, I don’t see anywhere in the instructions to refrigerate the dough before baking. Perhaps you can edit your recipe for people who will try these later. Thanks

Hi Akanksha- I have never tried to make these without brownie mix before so I am not sure how it would work. You could try mixing the dry ingredients for a batch of brownies as a substitute for the brownie mix.Then follow the recipe as written so you’ll be adding more flour and brown sugar. Again I haven’t tried making them that way so I can’t say how well it will work.

These were SO yummy! I bought a mix that already had chocolate chips in it to save some money and added in some white chocolate chips that I had leftover from another recipe.
The fudgy deliciousness was out of control!

I saw a couple comments about freezing. Have any of you tried it yet and did it work out. I know technically you can but sometimes they don’t defrost very well. Just curious I am making a ton of these this week and would love to get ahead of the game and get some out of the way now. Thanks

In the fridge now. After I stirred the dough with all of the ingredients (minus chocolate chips) I used my hands to work in all of the ingredients. Definitely got it molded better together better than my spoon ever would have!

Hi there! I was looking for a great brownie cookie recipe and came across yours. I’ve tried others that are from scratch – I don’t normally use boxed mixes. I must say, they are phenomenal! You nailed it! Easy enough for the kids to make too. I only chilled mine for about an hour and they still came out great! Thank you Thank you!

These look amazing and I’m going to try them today, but was wondering about high altitude? We live in northern utah, about 5000 ft at our location. I have Giardeilli brownie mix I’ll be using. Do I just follow the high altitude directions on the box? I’m assuming that would be ok. But you know what happens when you assume, lol! Thanks

I made these and they were quite amazing, but I also improved them a little bit (I think) by replacing the two tablespoons of water with and equal amount of strong coffee (cooled). It adds an awesome extra taste to the cookie and makes it even more irresistable. Thanks for the awesome recipe Deseree

July 27, 2009 at 1:12 pm

Erin, I’m glad you and your family love them but am sorry to hear that you’ve had problems with them being too flat. I am not sure that using a different brand of brownie mix would cause the problem as a few other people have left comments saying that they used other mixes and didn’t have a problem. One thought may be that the batter is getting to warm, make sure it stays cold. I would try putting the bowl in the fridge while you are baking the batches. I would also wait for your cookie sheet to cool down, if it is too warm the batter will spread. Also over working it could cause this problem. Also if you’re at a high altitude you’d have to adjust for that. I hope this helps!

Deseree, I’ve made these a few times and my family and I really love them. The only thing is that they never quite come out as thick as they do in the picture, but rather flat and soupy when I take them out of the oven. I follow all the directions, but use a different brand of brownie mix. Could this be the problem? Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

hey deseree,
girl, i baked those cookies over the weekend.i had some friends over with their families. i think the mistake i made was breaking a cookie in pieces and giving everyone to taste. 2 of the boys that were there raided the tray. 1 of the families took home the rest. i only got one. the next time i bake them i need to make sure that i don’t have company. i went back to the grocery store, the other size they have is an 11 ounce, so….i don’t know what the adjustment would be for that but i don’t think the smaller size would work in my house, the recipe is too popular.

the size i used was about that, i think it was 18.7 ounces if i remember correctly….. but the brand i used was betty crocker, i remember picking up the 2 sizes in the grocery. i didn’t know which one to get so i just opted for the bigger one. but the other one was a 11-13 ounce i believe…..but i’m not sure, i can’t remember…. next time i go to the grocery i’ll make a note of it and write you.

hey deseree, you made me laugh when you said you are not a sweets fan…lol. but, i have another question for you, there are 2 sizes of brownie mix at my grocery store. i used the bigger one, but i was wondering if i use the smaller one with the exact same ingredients if i would get the same results….i guess what i am really asking is….does the size pack of the brownie mix that i buy matter? do i have to adjust ingredients to suit?
