Cosmic Brownie Cookies are a delightful twist on classic fudge brownies, baked into chewy, chocolatey cookies topped with a smooth ganache and sprinkled with colorful candy-coated chocolate chips. With a rich, fudgy texture and a glossy chocolate topping, these cookies make the perfect treat for any chocolate lover.

  • Total Time: 56 minutes
  • Yield: 12 cookies

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 1 box fudge brownie mix (18 oz.)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup canola oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Ganache Topping

  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup candy-coated chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the fudge brownie mix and all-purpose flour until well combined.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add canola oil and eggs to the dry mixture and stir until fully incorporated with no dry streaks remaining, forming a thick dough.
  4. Shape Cookies: Using a large cookie scoop, drop dough balls onto the lined baking sheets, spacing them about 1½ inches apart to allow room for spreading.
  5. Flatten Dough: Lightly press down on each dough ball with your hand to flatten slightly and remove the dome shape for even baking.
  6. Bake: Bake the cookies for 10-13 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
  7. Cool Cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Prepare Ganache: Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 60 seconds.
  9. Whisk Ganache: Allow the mixture to sit for 2 minutes to melt fully, then whisk until smooth and glossy.
  10. Decorate Cookies: Spread the ganache evenly over the cooled cookies.
  11. Add Candy Topping: Immediately sprinkle candy-coated chocolate chips over the ganache to decorate before it sets.
  12. Set Ganache: Let the ganache firm up at room temperature before serving to ensure a perfect finish.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
  • Do not overbake to keep cookies fudgy and chewy.
  • Allow ganache to set properly for the best texture.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use dairy-free chocolate chips.
