Do you ever have an idea that just comes to you and seems incredibly brilliant in theory, but ends up just being a huge fat mess?? Well these cookies would be one of those. Um sort of. I implemented some serious damage control and actually came out with a delicious low-cal cookie, but after some much needed trial and error first. Here allow me to recap.
I used No Pudge Fudge which is my absolute favorite! This brownie mix is seriously the best stuff ever created and was one of the first things I ever posted about on this little bloggy of mine. It’s fat-free, only 120 calories per serving and pretty much crack to your taste buds! So when my friend Nicole brought chocolate brownie crinkle cookies over to my house the other night, I KNEW I had to reinvent them using this mix!Brilliant right?
Well mine came out ginormous!! And kinda flat too. I was soo disappointed. Here I thought I had come up with the greatest chocolate crinkle cookie swap and all I got was a big chocolate mess in my kitchen and larger than life cookies……and then I tasted them.
They were pretty freakin’ good! They had a bit of a crunchy exterior, but were chewy on the inside which is how a crinkle cookie is supposed to be. The only thing I would change would be to make them smaller and to chill the dough a bit longer so that it doesn’t fall a part in my hands.
When I first made the dough, it was really thin like brownie mix so I added a bit of flour which thickened it up, but chilling the dough in the fridge for an hour or two really makes it much easier to roll into balls in the powdered sugar. Trust me, I tried to skip the whole chilling part because well, I’m impatient, and just ended up with a huge gooey chocolate mess.Epic fail.
Skinny Chocolate Crinkle Cookies
The most delicious Skinny Chocolate Crinkle Cookies made with your favorite brownie mix and sprinkled with powdered sugar!
Ingredients
- 1 box No Pudge Fudge Brownie Mix, or your favorite brownie mix
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- With a spoon, combine your brownie mix, egg, flour and water in a medium-sized bowl until all ingredients are just combined; don’t over-mix. Cover your bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for about an hour.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Using a mini ice cream scoop or a regular spoon, form about 24 1-inch balls by rolling them completely in the powdered sugar. *Hint: drop the mixture from the scoop into the powdered sugar before touching the balls with your hands. The powdered sugar helps hold the balls together and makes them much easier to form.
- Place balls on a prepared cookie sheet and bake in oven for about 10 minutes. Enjoy!

I’ve never heard of that brownie mix before. I am going to have to look for it here in Canada. These cookies look lovely!
I will take a dozen:)
I would say that at least half of my most delicious dishes were mistakes! 😀
I love No Pudge Brownies! I will have to try this recipe.
I’m so going to have to try these. Chocolate Crinkle cookies are one of my favorites!
Oh, I LOVE Oliver!!!! Such a cutie pie. And your cookies look delicious…and with a skinny version, I can eat more 🙂
Oh…that mix is my crack!
Just a thought, might want to try adding some baking soda or powder to the mix to make them fluff up a bit? *shrugs* Doubt it could hurt.
Patience is key to baking. I tend to have pretty big fails too when I am inpatient and skip certain steps. I like instant rewards though I am sure it will happen again soon.
It turn out a really good “mess” and you must keep on having good ideas because the results seem to be delicious….
