Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (about 18.3 oz or 520 g) boxed brownie mix
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened (full-fat recommended)
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar
  • Optional: 1/2 cup (90 g) mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the brownie mix, 2 large eggs, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  3. In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Fold in mini chocolate chips if desired.
  4. Scoop about 1 tablespoon (15 g) of brownie dough and flatten it slightly in your palm.
  5. Place roughly 1 teaspoon (5 g) of the cream cheese filling in the center of the dough.
  6. Wrap the brownie dough around the cream cheese, pinching edges to seal and form a smooth ball. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
  7. Place the stuffed cookie balls about 2 inches (5 cm) apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft.
  9. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
  10. Enjoy warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Notes

Do not overmix the brownie batter to keep cookies tender and fudgy. Use softened cream cheese for smooth filling. Seal dough edges well to prevent filling leaks. If filling is too soft, chill for 10 minutes before stuffing. Baking time is 12-14 minutes; watch closely to avoid overbaking. Use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
