These Cream Cheese Brownie Cookies are ridiculously gooey and fudgy! They’re also super simple made with a brownie mix! This cream cheese brookie recipe is the chocolate dessert of your wildest dreams!
So lately I have been working on recipes for the book basically like all the dang time. And all the recipes (good, bad and ever uglier) have to be tested. Which means I can either consume 40 million calories a day…OR I can do my best to make my neighbors fat. Unfortunately I have inadvertently chosen both of these options. But as long as I can keep my friends fat…you know how it goes.
Easy Cream Cheese Brownie Cookie Recipe
Anyhow, with all the food, I have been having people over for dinner/dessert quite often (my husband can only eat so many cupcakes). Luckily I have some pretty fab foodie friends and they have given me some pretty great feedback. Needs caramelized onions (done). Too much tequila (shocker). A tiny bit too creamy (easy fix). It’s a process.
Anyhow, what I’ve found is that although I’m basically using my friends as a focus group, they don’t seem to mind as long as there is dessert involved. And aren’t cookies always the answer? Enter these super easy…crazy delicious…Cream Cheese Brownie Cookies.There are only a few ingredients needed for these super thick, gooey cookies…even my non-chocolate loving husband went nuts for these. And that is saying a lot!
How to Make Brownie Cookies From Mix:
Just grab a box of brownie mix. I love the Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix from Pillsbury for this recipe.
Mix in some cream cheese, butter, an egg and white chocolate chips. That’s it.
The dough will be super thick…but use a large cookie scoop to make them all even. Love my cookie scoop.
Bake them until they are set around the edges. The tops will still seem a bit underdone…it’s ok, you want a gooey cookie.
See? Gooey, thick, chocolatey with the perfect amount of white chocolate chips throughout!
Such a simple recipe that you can whip up for any celebration!

Hi! I’m Shelly and I’m an addict. Of the buttercream sort. I started this site a few years ago as a way to justify my sugary, buttery obsession with desserts. It has worked out well for me so far, because as it turns out you guys all love sugary, buttery desserts too! It feels good to know you're not alone, doesn’t it?

Made these today and they were good though not what I was expecting. They’re basically just cookie shaped brownies with white chocolate chips. The cream cheese adds a bit of something but again, not what I was expecting. I did manage to eat about 9 or 10 though so that’s saying something! Thanks for the recipe and I’m eager to see what else you have to offer. Thanks, again!
Hi pls can u help insterd of eggs wat cn u put
Do you have made from scratch brownie mix I can use for the cookies? I dont use boxes mixes and I know many who would love these cookies..
My sister who is 13 years older than I has taught me everything i know about baking, though to this day we wont bake without one another. I happen a upon your website off of facebook (you no bake cookies) and showed my sister your website and hence we made a promise to try some of recipes twice a month. We started with your Cream Cheese Brownie Cookies and let me just say they were a crowd pleaser. So I just wanted to pop in and say thank you for the wonderful website and tasty recipes!
Grandson just had his 18th birthday, guess what he will be getting… yummy cookies!!!
I tried baking these tonight and they didn’t turn out anywhere close to what you have pictured. I’m no novice in the kitchen, either. I wonder what went wrong…
Not sure.. what happened?
I followed your recipe to the letter, but the cookies oozed out into huge, flat disks. I even tried chilling the second batch, to no avail. Nevertheless, they did all get eaten!
What type of baking sheet are you using? Also, what size brownie mix did you use?
I used an Air-Bake nonstick sheet with parchment paper. The brownie mix was 18.4 oz., but I reduced the liquid ingredients to compensate for the reduced dry ingredients. The only thing I can think of is reducing the amount of butter and cream cheese even further. I’m going to try again tonight, actually!
Shelly, you’ll be pleased to know that the cookies turned out remarkably well versus my first batch. To compensate for the missing ounce of brownie mix, I ended up reducing the cream cheese to 3 Tbsp and the butter to 6 Tbsp, and using a small egg. The batter was extremely thick, and the cookies held their shape perfectly. I’m actually surprised at how much I had to reduce the wet ingredients just to compensate for a little bit of brownie mix!
Fantastic!!
Do these need to be refrigerated because of the cream cheese?
Nope, they will be fine!
How would I make this from scratch without the brownie mix?
Not sure.. this is a short-cut recipe, so O’m not sure it would be a simple modification without being a whole new recipe.
I prepared this recipe this morning and now I’ve tasted super good
Is there a “homemade” substitute for the store-bought brownie mix?
Not really for this recipe…
I made these the other morning before my son went to school. I added some of the Nestle Caramel Filled Milk Chocolate Chips that are out now in addition to the white chocolate chips and these were dangerous! Seriously, one of my newest favorite cookies!
These look so rich and chewy. YUM.
Can these be baked ahead and frozen? Planning ahead for the holidays!
Sure!
Just wondering if you could use your own homemade brownie mix and follow your recipe? I’m just not that fond of boxed mixes. Thanks for sharing this recipe though…it sounds divine. 🙂
I am loving that gooey pull apart shot!!! Yum! This is one of my favorite ways to make brownie cookies too! And I can’t wait to see your cookbook…it’s going to be so awesome!
Would coconut oil work in place of the butter?
Probably, although I have never tried it!
Hello Shelly,
Excuse me for this stupid question, but since I’m from the Netherlands and use different measurements, I was wondering, do I have to melt the butter first? We use grams for it.
Thanks a lot!
Nope!
These look wonderful. Might make a great Christmas cookie this year.
And this is why I have fate pants. These look to die for. I ADORE anything brownies!
lets try this again. FAT pants
hahahaha!!
I’m facebook spoiled, I want to ‘like’ this.
these look ridiculously delicious!
These? Are probably the most fantastic brownie cookies ever. That gooey fudgy center!! And I am so darn excited for your book!
You’re the sweetest!!
OMG, Made these for “Bosses Day’ today and everyone LOVED them. Gave your recipe to all my coworkers.
Thanks so much!!!!
Just saw and pinned these this afternoon and my hubby comes home from work and asked me if we have anything for dessert…so of course I had to whip these up! I didn’t have any white chocolate chips on hand and we are a big chocolate and peanut butter kind of family so I added Reese’s peanut butter chips instead. What an amazingly quick and easy and YUMMY recipe!! Big hit in our house..this is for sure a keeper! 🙂
Haha I use my friends and family as a focus group all the time just for regular posts. I’m always amazed at the drastic difference in feedback, and yet sometimes the completely unanimous. These cookies would blow my mind by the way. I <3 cream cheese.
Could these be made in a pan? 8×8 or 9×13? Approx time? I’m lazy!
NOt sure…I really adapted a brownie mix into cookies…not sure if it would work backwards.
I wish I had read my email earlier! I made brownies this morning and would have used your recipe instead. Guess I’ll have to bake again tomorrow!! 🙂
I want!!! These look perfect!!
I hope you are bringing a few of these in your suitcase:)
I made these and they turned out great. I used my favorite brownie mix, Ghiradelli double chocolate. That mix is only 18 ounces, which is 1.5 ounces less than the recipe. Still turned out delicious. Better than a brownie even. This was a lifesaver because I’m going to a baby shower tomorrow and didn’t want to be bothered with a complicated dessert gift. So easy, but it’s still something I’m happy to bring. Thanks!
I can only wish I had an excuse to bake that much!! So fun! And these cookies sound great. Love the cream cheese!
Super soft and chewy cookies are my favourite! These look fantastic!!
The cream cheese and brownie combo work for me. These look so gooey delicious, I’lll check this one out. Excited for you and your new cookbook, how cool is that? Congrats and thanks for inspiring.
I’m planning on making these tomorrow, my brownie mix is 18.3 oz – did you reduce the cooking time or any of the ingredients?
nope!
how many min did you bake cookies
LOVE!
these look amazing. also: your husband’s site is awesome, and i looove how he dedicates it to you and says he’s crazy in love with you! between the two of you, the food in your household must be amazing. i hope your kids appreciate it! 🙂
