Ingredients

  • 18.25 oz box brownie mix (dry mix) **
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 TBS water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips (divided)
  • 20 Peppermint Bark Squares
  • 2 TBS crushed candy cane pieces

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add the brownie mix, eggs, flour, vegetable oil, water, and vanilla extract to a large bowl and stir them together until combined. The batter will be sticky.
  • Fold in 1/2 cup of the mini chocolate chips.
  • Scoop the dough in 1.5 to 2 TBS portions and roll them into balls. Place them onto the prepared baking pan, at least 2 inches apart.
  • Bake the cookies in the oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the tops are cracked, and no longer shiny.
  • Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet, then top them each with Peppermint Bark squares, or chopped pieces.
  • Sprinkle the tops with crushed candy cane pieces.
  • Let the cookies cool for another 10 minutes on the cookie sheet, then transfer them to the cooling rack.
  • Melt the remaining chocolate chips in a small bowl in the microwave for 45 seconds. Stir as much as you can. Microwave in additional 15 second increments until you can stir them smooth and the chocolate is melted all the way.
  • Transfer the melted chocolate into a ziplock bag, and snip the tip off with scissors. Drizzle the top over the cookies if desired.
  • Enjoy the messy cookies warm, or let them cool until the chocolate is set, then enjoy.

Notes

** Do not use Betty Crocker Brownie Mix as it doesn't contain baking soda, and the cookies won't rise.
