Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (18 oz) box brownie mix (e.g., Ghirardelli or Betty Crocker)
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) vegetable oil (can substitute melted coconut oil)
- 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar, for rolling
- Optional: 1/4 cup (30 g) mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, egg, and vegetable oil. Stir until smooth and sticky. Add water 1 teaspoon at a time if dough is too dry.
- Chill the dough for at least 20 minutes to firm up.
- Pour powdered sugar into a shallow bowl. Using a cookie scoop or hands, form dough balls about 1.5 tablespoons (20 g) each. Roll each ball generously in powdered sugar until fully coated.
- Place dough balls on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 9–11 minutes until edges are set but centers look slightly underbaked.
- Cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
Chilling the dough is key to prevent spreading and to achieve the classic crinkle look. Roll dough balls generously in powdered sugar. Do not overbake; centers should look slightly underdone for fudgy texture. Dough balls can be frozen and baked from frozen with a couple extra minutes baking time.
