Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix (18–20 oz)
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 cup candy-coated mini Easter eggs (such as Cadbury Mini Eggs), crushed or whole
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix ingredients to form dough. In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, all-purpose flour, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Stir thoroughly until a thick, sticky dough forms. If desired, fold in the mini chocolate chips for added chocolate flavor.
- Shape cookies and add Easter eggs. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls with your hands. Place each dough ball about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Gently press a few mini Easter eggs on top of each dough ball to decorate and add colorful crunch.
- Bake the cookies. Bake the cookies for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain slightly soft, giving a chewy brownie-like texture.
- Cool before serving. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before enjoying.
Notes
- For an extra festive touch, drizzle the cooled cookies with melted white chocolate and sprinkle pastel-colored sprinkles on top.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days to keep them fresh.
- These cookies also freeze well; place them in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
