5S Philosophy 👩🏻
- Salt – The brownie mix already contains some salt, but feel free to top these cookies with some flakey sea salt or a slightly crunchy and salty finish.
- Seasonings – Instead of the vanilla extract, try swapping it with almond extract or even coffee extract for a different flavor.
- Sauces – You can make this a complete dessert masterpiece by drizzling with fudge sauce, sandwiching some marshmallow fluff between two cookies or dipping into salted caramel sauce.
- Swaps – Milk chocolate, semi-sweet and white chocolate chips can be used instead of dark chocolate. As can caramel or peanut butter chips.
- Senses – Fudgy and rich, brownie mix cookies fill the air with deep cocoa aroma and deliver a chewy bite with crisp edges, melting into decadent, chocolatey sweetness.

Storage and Freezing
These rich cookies will last up to three weeks in a sealed, airtight container at room temperature.
Generally, chewy brownie cookies can also be stored in the freezer for eight to twelve months. Wrapping them individually in aluminum or parchment before putting in a freezer-safe bag will avoid them sticking together and having freezer burn.
