I made these a while back, and they are both daughter and mom approved. My daughter ate one or two; I ate the rest. Not even joking—the whole darn batch. I recently lost a significant amount of weight, so this was sort of a reward for all my hard work, lol. Needless to say, I had a massive sweet tooth.
5 Ingredient Fudgy Brownie Crinkle Cookies
What you’ll need for the recipe:
- Box Brownie Mix – The boxed brownie mix is a huge time saver and budget friendly option.
- Eggs
- Vegetable Oil
- Flour – You will need to add a little flour to the recipe to get the brownie mix to a consistency where you are able to roll the dough into balls. This also gives the brownies a bit of a lift when they cook.
- Powdered Sugar – You’ll use the powder sugar to roll the dough in before baking. it will give that the beautiful white coating.
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F.
Step 2: Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Step 3: In a mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until well combined.
Step 4: Add flour and mix completely. This helps create a better consistency for rolling the dough.
Step 5: Roll into golf-ball-sized balls and place on the prepared cookie sheet.
Step 6: Place the baking sheet into the refrigerator and allow to chill for 30 to 60 minutes. This chills the oil, which helps the powdered sugar stick better to the dough.
Step 7: Once chilled, remove from the fridge and roll each ball generously in powdered sugar.
Step 8: Bake for 10–12 minutes or until done.
Step 9: Remove from oven, allow to cool and enjoy!
