How To Make Air Fryer Brownie Mix Cookies

Get the complete ingredients list and instructions from the recipe card below.

1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl with a spoon, hand mixer, or stand mixer. 
2. The dough should be stiff enough to roll, but if needed you can add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if you the batter is too thick.
3. Roll the dough into small balls or scoop with a cookie scoop and place them in a parchment-lined air fryer basket. You will need to work in batches.
4. Air fry for 4-6 minutes at 350 degrees F or 180 degrees C. The cookies should be firm on the sides and soft in the middle, but not gooey. For firmer cookies, bake 2-3 minutes longer.
5. Allow the cookies to cool for 3-4 minutes in the basket and transfer to a cooling rack. 
6. Repeat the process until all the cookies are made.

How To Make Cookies Out Of Brownie Mix in The Oven

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F or 190 degrees C, and follow the directions above for making the dough.
2. Roll the dough into small balls or scoop with a cookie scoop and place it on a parchment-lined baking tray.
3. Bake for 8-9 minutes, or until just cracking on top. Cookies should be firm on the sides and soft in the middle, but not gooey. Bake for 2-3 minutes longer for firmer cookies.
4. Allow to cool for 3-4 minutes on the tray, then transfer to a cooling rack. 

Pro Tips 

• Different brownie mixes may produce slightly different results. 
• Dough too wet? Add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it reaches the right consistency.
• If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time to get the right consistency. 
• Place parchment or a silicone mat in the air fryer basket then add cookie dough. 
• Use a cookie scoop to create uniform-sized cookies.
• Leave space between the cookies as they spread slightly as they bake.
• Since air fryer temperatures can vary, watch cookies closely the first time you make them (you don’t overcook) and adjust the cooking time as needed. 

Delicious Variations

• Add Nuts – Stir in anywhere from fourth of a cup to a half cup of your favorite nuts.
• Add Your Favorite Candy – Replace the chocolate chunks with chopped pieces of your favorite candy, candy-coated chocolates, peanut butter chips, and more. 
• Experiment With Different Mixes – There are so many varieties of brownie mixes on the market. Try several to discover your favorite. 
• Pair with Ice Cream – Use these brownie mix cookies to make ice cream sandwiches or serve them a la mode. 

Prep And Storage

• Prep Ahead – You can make the dough and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking in the air fryer. 
• Store – Cookies can be stored in an airtight container on the counter for up to a week. 
• Freeze – Wrap cookies in plastic wrap and seal in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. You can also freeze the unbaked cookies for up to 3 months. Scoop the dough onto a tray and place it in the freezer until hard. Place the frozen dough balls into a freezer bag. Take out what you need and bake as directed. You may need to add a minute or two to the cooking time.
