Can I use homemade cookie dough instead of store-bought?

Yes, you can swap in homemade sugar cookie dough if you prefer. Just portion the dough into small rounds and place them evenly on the brownie batter. The bake time remains about the same.

How do I know when brookies are baked through?

Insert a toothpick near the center. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs but not raw batter, they’re done. The edges should look set, but the center may still appear slightly soft.

Can I freeze brookies for later?

Yes, brookies freeze well. Wrap each slice in plastic, then store in a freezer bag for up to two months. Thaw at room temperature before serving, or warm briefly in the microwave for a softer texture.

Ingredients

Scale

1 box store-bought brownie mix

Ingredients required to prepare the brownie mix

¼ cup Halloween M&M’s (plus more for topping)

1 package Pillsbury ghost-shaped sugar cookie dough

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

2. Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions, avoiding overmixing.

3. Stir ¼ cup of Halloween M&M’s into the batter.

4. Pour the batter into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading evenly.

5. Place 15 pieces of cookie dough evenly spaced on top of the batter.

6. Bake for 28–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.

7. After baking, add extra M&M’s on top if desired.

8. Let cool completely before slicing; use a plastic knife for cleaner cuts.

Notes

Adjust baking time as needed according to your specific brownie mix.

Cookies will still bake well even if brownies need extra time.

Plastic knives are ideal for slicing without tearing the brookies.

Best served fully cooled for firmer texture.

Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
