After making the Chilled CRUMBL Twix Cookies and the Chilled Crumbl Sugar Cookies, I received so many requests to try and make the Cosmic brownie cookie too, of course, I had to!
This is the best Cosmic brownie cookie recipe ever!
When I made this recipe, I was inspired by my Small Batch Brownie Cookie Recipe because I have never had a better chocolate brownie cookie in my life!
It’s really that good, and that’s why I am calling this recipe better than CRUMBL cosmic cookies.
I personally feel like the CRUMBL cosmic brownie cookie doesn’t resemble brownies too much. It was more like a thick cookie than a brownie so I did something about it and turned your favorite bakery treat into a real brownie cookie!

- It’s a childhood favorite made into a cookie!
- You will get a larger batch for a whole lot less money.
- Each cookie tastes just like a brownie and is topped with the best ganache ever!
- They’re literally so pretty to look at!
- This recipe is easy and quick to make.

Chahinez
You are so welcome!
Sarah Overly
I’m not a huge chocolate fan and am always reluctant when it comes to chocolate baked good unless it’s Oreo. After swooshing the cookies around i tried the smallest little piece and by that I was blown away. Can’t wait for another small piece once they are all finished!
Brooke
Sooo fudgy and delicious!! Truly have made these several times within the past month
Chahinez
This is the best comment ever Brooke! Thank you!
Alison
Your cookies look amazing…going to try and make….crazy question…when you say swoosh cookies is this before or after baking the picture looks like the cookie with the larger ring around it was cooked….thanks
Chahinez
It’s immediately after baking the cookies.
Miranda Jones
These were outstanding!!! Now I need you to make the Lucky Charms copycat!!!❤️❤️❤️
Chahinez
So glad to hear that!! Can’t wait for you to try the lucky charms ones!
Adrianna
The best cookies I ever made!!! So easy and they came out delicious. I got a bit nervous because the dough was very liquidy but chose to trust the process and they came out great!
Chahinez
Thank you so much for trying this recipe Adrianna!

Kathryn
Really good!!! I think next time I will add a little more flour or chill the dough for a little since mine spread out a bit too much but that’s on me. These cookies are delicious and I’ll definitely be making them again
Chahinez
I am so happy to hear you liked the flavor! : )
Chahinez
Amanda
The cookies themselves were great. The ganache was a little too bitter for our taste, so next time we will use milk chocolate for it.
Also, my 12yr old made this completely on her own, so thank you for an easy to follow recipe!
Chahinez
The ganache will taste as good as the chocolate you use. Maybe your chocolate was too dark?
So glad the instructions were easy to follow! 🙂
Trisha
These cookies were AMAZING!! Definitely the best cookies I have ever made – they turned out perfect! Thank you for the recipe!
Chahinez
I am so happy to hear you loved these Trisha!!

Could I substitute the eggs with anything and have them still turn out the same?!
Chahinez
Unfortunately, I never tried making these with no eggs so I can’t guarantee the same result. You can try the flax egg substitute and see how they turn out for you! Please let me know if you do 🙂
Chahinez
La
Could I substitute anything for the eggs?!
Chahinez
Unfortunately, these need eggs.

Alexandra
I used low quality cocoa and chocolate chips, but these still turned out delicious! The perfect thing to satisfy my chocolate craving!
They could’ve used a minute or two more in the oven, but I like a gooey brownie, so I didn’t mind at all. Can’t wait to make more Crumbl copycat recipes!
Chahinez
I am so happy to hear you loved these Alexandra!

Marina
Absolutely wonderful. You get the combination of cookie and brownie without spending the whole day in the kitchen. Fantastic recipe I recommend giving it a try.
It’s definitely in my family’s favourite recipes.
Chahinez
Homemade cookies that don’t require you to spend the whole day in the kitchen are the best type of cookies!
Chahinez
Amanda
So excited to make these!
Is there a way to make these with a ganache that hardens so they can be packaged in flat cookie bags?
Chahinez
Hi Amanda!
This ganache will harden when you put it in the fridge so as long as they stay cold the ganache won’t be melty. If that isn’t a possibility, you can just use melted chocolate which will harden as it cools and would be easier to package.
Hope this helped 🙂

Anna Nunez
Do you use regular cocoa or Dutch process cocoa?
Chahinez
I used Dutch processed cocoa powder but you can use either!
Chahinez
Aidan
I don’t get what you mean by “swoosh around your cookies to form the perfect round thick cookie.” Can you explain that step in a different way?
Chahinez
All you need to do is get a large cookie cutter to put around your cookie and move it in circular motions to get the round cookie form.
Savannah
This was the first Crumbl recipe I tried and it was delicious. I will definitely be back for more recipes. AMAZING!

Chloe
Tastes delicious! I had to continue to put more flour into the batter to help with the consistency, but they still came out great!
Chahinez
Glad to hear this Chloe! Thank you for the review 🙂

The best cookies I have EVER made! Cannot recommend enough.
Chahinez
Thank you so much for trying them Kamryn! ❤️
Ang
These tastes amazing! However, I do wish they were a bit thicker. Mine came out super thin and flat, and I weighed all the ingredients. Crumbl cookies are typically not ever flat, so that kind of bummed me out. If I make them again I’ll add more flour. Flavor is great though!
Chahinez
I am so sorry about that Angelina! Did you make sure to whip the eggs until they double in volume? The eggs help make these thicker as well!
