This is a very forgiving recipe. I used what I thought would be equivalent to a 9×13 box of brownie mix (I used 2 pouches from the giant box of brownie mix you get from Costco or Sam’s that says it makes 9×13 pan). It ended up be way too much dry mix, so I added an extra egg, and a splash more oil and water until it came together in a sticky dough. They turned out perfectly and delicious! Way better and way easier than any other chocolate crinkle cookie I’ve ever made (and I’ve tried A LOT of different recipes).

In reply to Katrina. Hi Katrina! Yes, these should do fine! One minor issue may be that upon thawing, the powdered sugar coating may get a little wet. You can offset this by baking the dough balls plain (do not roll in powdered sugar coating), then once cool, freeze them. Upon thawing when ready to serve, dust with powdered sugar. They may not have the same crackly appearance but they'll taste amazing! :) Hope this helps!

Hi. These look delicious!! Was wondering if these cookies freeze well? I’d like to make them for Christmas but never have time right before so I usually make and freeze my cookies ahead of time. Thanks!

In reply to Koko. Hi Koko, the milk chocolate brownie mix should work just fine! You could definitely try chilling the dough for easier handling. I'd say maybe 30 minutes.

Hi,
I made these cookies and they were a hit! I wanted to make it again, but I could only find pilsberry milk chocolate brownie mix. Aside from the taste, Do you think it will effect the overall texture and fudginess of the original recipe? What about chilling the dough til firm for easier handling?

I’ve tried several versions of a crackle cookie over the years and this is my favorite. I wouldn’t make them too big, they are very rich.
Great recipe, Haley. Thank you.

These were so good – I made them for my boyfriend and he loved them! They have a crackle/crunch to the outside, but are smooth/gooey on the inside with the melty chips! He loved them and they disappeared so fast! Thanks for another easy and delicious recipe!
