Instructions
Make the Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine brownie mix, flour, eggs, and oil. Mix well until a thick dough forms.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie, roll into balls, and place them on baking sheets (about 2 inches apart). Flatten slightly with a glass.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until edges are set. Centers will soften as they cool.
- Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the Peanut Butter Topping
- Combine peanut butter and powdered sugar in a medium bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Roll into small balls (about 1 teaspoon each), flatten slightly, and place one on each cooled cookie.
Add the Chocolate Drizzle
- Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over each cookie. Let set before serving.
Cook’s Notes & Tips
- The cookie dough will be thick – that’s normal! It makes the cookies fudgy.
- Use room-temperature peanut butter for a super creamy topping.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Recipe Variations
- Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture.
- Swap peanut butter for sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option.
- Add ½ cup mini chocolate chips to the cookie dough for extra chocolate.
