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.Nutrition

Delicious, but definitely need more flour. At least 1/4-1/3 cup, they are like pancakes otherwise. Much better with more flour. Nice and rounded with more flour.

Thank you for trying out the recipe!

How do these turn out if I freeze some dough for another day?
Chahinez
I have never frozen the batter before baking so my guess is that they will spread less.
Lydia
These were so easy to make and the batch size was perfect for my small family. Currently pregnant and these satisfied every chocolate craving I had. Not too sweet, chewy like a cookie and soft like a brownie.
