Instructions

• In a medium bowl, add the boxed brownie mix, 1 egg, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/4 cup water. Stir with a spoon until the ingredients are just combined; do not overmix.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
• When ready to bake, place 1/2 cup powdered sugar into a shallow bowl or plate for rolling. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, or lightly grease the sheet.
• Use a mini ice cream scoop or a regular spoon to portion the chilled dough. For easier handling, drop the scoopful of dough directly into the powdered sugar before forming.
• Roll each portion into a roughly 1-inch ball, coating it completely in the powdered sugar. Continue until all dough is portioned—this should make about 24 cookies, depending on scoop size.
• Arrange the coated balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
• Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, until the cookies are set.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven, let the cookies cool on the sheet for 2–3 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool further.
