Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 (18-ounce) package Betty Crocker Delights Brownie Mix Supreme Chocolate Chunk see note 1
  • 8 tablespoons butter 1/2 cup, softened to room temperature
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup instant chocolate pudding mix dry (not the whole box; do not prepare)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • 1/4 cup hot fudge topping Hershey’s or Smuckers (not chocolate syrup)
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cups chocolate chips milk chocolate, semi-sweet, or dark chocolate

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a very large bowl, add the brownie mix, butter, egg, pudding mix, vanilla, hot fudge topping, and flour.
  • Using a stand or hand mixer, beat until well combined. Add in chocolate chips and stir to combine.
  • Using a tablespoon measuring spoon, measure dough balls. Roll into balls that are higher rather than wider. Place onto a parchment-lined sheet pan without flattening the dough. Place the tray of cookies in the freezer for 10 minutes.
  • Bake for 8–12 minutes, then allow the cookies to stand on the tray for another 5–7 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack (Be careful not to overbake; slightly underbaking will yield chewier cookies). If desired, press a few additional chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies; this ensures there is chocolate in every bite and makes them look prettier.

Notes

Note 1: This recipe was originally made with an 18.4-oz brownie mix, but since those are hard to find now, I’ve updated it for an 18-oz mix. I’ve tested many brownie mixes, and this one is my favorite—no sponsorship, just my recommendation! If you find the original size, click here for the original recipe. :)
Storage: Fudge Brownie Cookies will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container at room temperature.
