This recipe for Chocolate Crackle Cookies comes right off the box of Ghiradelli® Double Chocolate brownie mix (with chocolate chips in the mix), with one variation in technique.
Last weekend as I was organizing our pantry I noticed something unusual about the box of brownie mix.
Apparently, my son noticed the recipe for Chocolate Crackle Cookies a few weeks ago when he was scrounging for a late-night snack. Luckily I found his “note” before he went back to school and was able to make them this weekend.
Chocolate Crackle Cookies

- 1 box Ghiradelli Double Chocolate Brownie Mix with chocolate chips in the mix

- Add eggs and oil and blend until thoroughly mixed.
- Cover batter and refrigerate for one hour.
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pour powdered sugar into a bowl.
- To form cookies, scoop out a rounded tablespoon of batter and use hands to roll into balls.

- Place sugar-coated balls on baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-13 minutes.
- Remove to cooling rack to cool.
Recipe Notes
The package directions did not suggest that you refrigerate the batter. I was able to make three cookies before the batter became a mess to work with. By refrigerating the batter for about an hour and keeping the batter in the refrigerator between batches, it worked well.
I’m pretty sure that there won’t be any left when he heads off in a few days.
What is your favorite way to enjoy chocolate?

Ghiradelli brownie mix is my favorite….Those look delicious. I love the subtle hint your son made 🙂
i make these all the time – always a hit!
I wish I could make those but I haven’t got the time and they have too much sugar for me. 🙁
That is my go-to for brownie mix. YUM!!!! I’ll have to try that variation. You and your cookie recipes – deadly 🙂
I try to limit my baking to when my son is around to help with the eating!
Ha that’s something my kids would do too! Good to know they are so yummy
Funny about the “note!”
I’m a brownie mix all the way – I actually prefer brownies that way!!!
Those look fabulous.
