These decadent brownie mix cookies combine chewy, gooey chocolate bites with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt and a luscious caramel drizzle, perfect for dessert lovers seeking a quick and easy treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (18 oz) box brownie mix (e.g., Ghirardelli)
  • 1/2 cup (113g) butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans or walnuts
  • Optional: 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully blended, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Gradually stir in the brownie mix and brown sugar until just combined. The batter will be thick and sticky.
  4. If using, gently fold in chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips without overmixing.
  5. Use a medium cookie scoop (about 1.5 tablespoons / 22g) or two spoons to drop rounded mounds evenly spaced on the baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  6. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges look set but centers remain slightly soft.
  7. Immediately after removing from the oven, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over each cookie.
  8. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
  9. Once completely cooled, drizzle caramel sauce over each cookie using a small spoon or squeeze bottle.
  10. Serve fresh or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Notes

Let melted butter cool slightly before mixing with eggs to avoid cooking eggs prematurely. Avoid overbaking to keep cookies chewy and gooey. Sprinkle sea salt immediately after baking for best flavor. Warm caramel sauce briefly if it hardens before drizzling. Store cookies in airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.
