These rich, fudgy brownie mix cookies feature a tangy cream cheese swirl and a crunchy sea salt sprinkle, creating a perfect balance of sweet and salty in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box brownie mix (about 18.3 oz / 520 g)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) vegetable oil (can substitute with melted coconut oil)
  • 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • About 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the brownie mix, 2 large eggs, and 1/3 cup vegetable oil. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Drop tablespoon-sized dollops of brownie batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  5. Add a smaller dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of the cream cheese mixture on top of each brownie batter mound.
  6. Use a toothpick or small skewer to gently swirl the cream cheese into the brownie batter, creating marbled patterns.
  7. Lightly sprinkle flaky sea salt on top of each cookie.
  8. Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft. For firmer cookies, bake up to 15 minutes, watching closely.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the brownie batter to keep it fudgy. Mix cream cheese and sugar until smooth to avoid lumps. Swirl cream cheese gently to maintain marbled effect. Sprinkle sea salt just before baking to keep crunch. Cookies can be refrigerated assembled for up to 24 hours before baking; add 1-2 minutes to baking time if baking from cold.
