Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Cookies
- 1 box (16.3 oz) Betty Crocker™ Fudge Brownie Mix
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 to 2 teaspoons water (if needed)
- 1/4 cup Betty Crocker™ Chocolate Sprinkles
- 12 heart-shaped chocolate candies, unwrapped
Instructions
- Prepare Oven and Pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Make Brownie Dough: In a large bowl, combine the Betty Crocker Fudge Brownie Mix, egg, and melted butter. Stir with a spoon until a stiff dough forms. If the dough is crumbly or does not hold together, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of water to moisten it.
- Roll Dough in Sprinkles: Pour chocolate sprinkles into a small shallow bowl. Using a large cookie scoop, portion 12 scoops (about 3 tablespoons each) of dough. Roll each dough portion in the chocolate sprinkles to coat thoroughly, then place on the prepared baking sheets spaced at least 2 inches apart.
- Top With Small Dough Balls: Roll the remaining dough into 12 small balls, about 1 teaspoon each. Place one small ball on top of each larger sprinkle-coated dough ball. Gently press down using the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to gently flatten the stacks.
- Bake Cookies: Bake one baking sheet at a time on the center rack of the oven for 12 to 14 minutes. Bake until the cookies are puffed and have a dry, crackled surface.
- Cool and Decorate: Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack. While still warm, place one heart-shaped chocolate candy on top of each cookie. Let the cookies cool completely before serving or storing.
Notes
- If the dough feels too dry or crumbly, add water gradually to achieve a workable consistency.
- To prevent chocolate candies from melting too much, add them only after cookies have cooled slightly.
- Cookies should be spaced well on the baking sheet to allow for spreading.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for best freshness.
