These Crumbl brownie batter cookies are the absolute best cookies! They are very similar to the Crumbl brownie batter cookies they had in stores this week. Adapted from a brownie box mix with 5 other simple ingredients, these cookies are so easy to make and result in a thick chocolatey cookie with a fudgy brownie texture.

Ingredients for these Crumbl brownie batter cookies

Here are the ingredients you will need to make these delicious cookies. Make sure to scroll down to the recipe card for the full detailed ingredient measurements.

  • Brownie mix – Try to choose a box mix that is of high quality for the best cookies, see below for my recommendations.
  • All – purpose flour – This type of flour will work best for you in this recipe.
  • Eggs – Tou want to use large eggs at room temperature.
  • Butter – Ideally pick an unsalted variety but salted will work if that is what you have available.
  • Instant coffee – This really helps to bring out the intense chocolate flavor. It is optional thought, so if you don’t want to add it, no worries!
  • Chocolate chips – You want to pick the best quality chocolate chips you can find for the best tasting brookies.

What brownie mix can I use?

Wherever possible try to pick up a box mix from Ghirardelli, I’ve found there’s to be the best overall. If you can find it I highly recommend the Ghirardelli Double Chocolate. This is the box mix I used for the photos in this post.

This brownie mix cookies with flour recipe take this great yet humble box mix and transform it into a cookie recipe with a few other ingredients, whilst retaining all the delicious brownie batter flavors.

It’s really easy to adapt this box mix recipe by adding in any mix in’s you have available in the pantry. Here are a few of my favorites to try:

  • Fold in some fresh raspberries at the last moment.
  • Peanut butter, either crunchy or smooth.

    How to store brownie mix cookies?

    You want to store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature, where they will keep for up to 4 days.
    Just microwave them for a few seconds to get them warm and gooey again before enjoying them.

    My dough is too thin, help! 

    This recipe was tested using Duncan Hines dark chocolate fudge brownies, the 2 & ½ tablespoon of flour work perfectly with this brand of brownies. This recipe also uses a medium/large egg which sits at about 50 grams. If you use an egg that’s bigger than that, your dough will automatically be runnier. 
    If you notice that your batter is too thin, add ½-1 tablespoon flour. You want the cookie dough to have a playdough texture.

      Loved this recipe and how easy it was, tried another brownie mix cookie recipe before and the cookies turned out like brownie brittle which wasn’t the worst but wasn’t what I was looking for. However this recipe made the cookies nice and soft and they were perfect!
