Instructions
Brownie Mix Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Make sure you measure flour correctly. In large bowl, using a mixer, mix the brownie mix, flour, oil, and eggs until combined well, without over-mixing. Mixture will be really thick and should come together in a ball when you scoop it up or place it in your hands to make a ball.
- Using large cookie scoop, fill scoop and place 6 scoops of dough on each baking sheet.
- These large cookies will bake 12-15 minutes, you just want to make sure the cookies on top aren't still wet. You can touch them, and if they are too gooey, put them back in the oven for a couple more minutes. Adjust baking time for smaller cookies, if you wish to make smaller. We love the jumbo cookies!
- Let cookies cool 5 minutes, then remove them with spatula to wire racks to finish cooling
Brownie Frosting
- Using a mixer, beat together the softened butter, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Add in powdered sugar and milk and turn mixer on low increasing up to medium speed until frosting is well combined and creamy for a minute or 2.
- Add more milk if too frosting is too thick and more powdered sugar if too frosting is too thin.
- Spread frosting on cookies with offset spatula or place frosting in a pastry bag and pipe the frosting on the tops of the cookies.
To Assemble Cookies
- Sprinkle crushed Oreos on top of cookies as you frost each cookie, so the top layer of frosting doesn't dry out and the Oreos adhere to the frosting.
- Add gummy worms, eyeballs, candies or whatever you want to make them fun for Halloween!
