Here’s a simple, reliable brownie-mix cookie recipe—soft in the middle with crackly tops 🍪

Makes about 18–24 cookies
Ingredients

Instructions

Tips
- Dough is thick and sticky—use a cookie scoop or lightly grease your hands.
- Slightly underbake for fudgy cookies.
- For crinkle tops, let dough rest 5–10 minutes before baking.
Easy Variations
