Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 18 oz box of brownie mix
Wet Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup butter (melted)
Topping
- 1 cup chocolate fudge frosting
- 5.25 oz container rainbow crunch sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cookie sheet pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Make Batter: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the 18 oz brownie mix, 2 eggs, and 1/4 cup melted butter until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
- Chill Dough: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, place heaping tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, leaving approximately two inches between each dollop. Refrigerate the dough on the pan for 30 minutes to help maintain shape during baking.
- Bake Cookies: Bake the chilled dough in the preheated oven for 11 to 12 minutes until the edges are set but the centers remain soft. Remove from oven and let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare Frosting: Microwave the chocolate fudge frosting for about 20 seconds, stirring halfway, until it becomes slightly thinner but not runny, making it easier to spread.
- Frost and Decorate: Spread about one tablespoon of the warmed frosting on top of each cooled cookie. Immediately sprinkle with rainbow crunch sprinkles for a colorful, cosmic effect.
Notes
- Chilling the dough before baking helps the cookies hold their shape better and prevents spreading.
- If you don’t have a cookie scoop, use two spoons to shape the dough evenly.
- Be careful not to overheat the frosting; it should be spreadable but not melted.
- Store the finished cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for best freshness.
