I stole this recipe for Chewy Patriotic Brownie Cookies from tasteofthefrontier.com. This patriotic dessert is very easy to make and perfect for a fourth of July BBQ. Boxed brownie mix is combined with eggs, vegetable oil and flour. Then the batter is mixed until smooth. Next chocolate chips and M&M’s are folded into the batter before scooping into mounds onto a cookie sheet. The cookies are baked and then additional M&M’s are pressed into the hot cookies. After sitting on the cookie sheets for a few minutes the cookies are transferred to wire racks to cool completely. Or you can enjoy the hot cookies straight off the cookie sheet.
The ingredients for this recipe are: 1 box brownie mix, 2 large eggs, ¼ cup canola oil, ¼ cup AP flour, ¾ cup milk chocolate chips and 1 cup patriotic M&M’s
Preheat oven to 375 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside. Then in a large mixing bowl, combine brownie mix, eggs, oil & flour.
Fold in chocolate chips and ¾ cup of M&M’s – reserving ¼ cup for the tops of the cookie.
Scoop the dough into large mounds onto the lined cookie sheet – spacing about 2” apart.
Bake for 9 to 10 minutes. When removing from the oven, tap the sheet on the counter or top of the range to release some of the air in the cookies and give them a nice crackle top. Immediately top with additional M&M’s.
Transfer to a wire cooling rack and cool completely before enjoying.
