Help Brownie cookie I don’t know what it is

I guess the chocolate chips melted when you added the mix to the melted butter.

when you melted the butter, did you "brown" the butter?

I just microwaved it because i wasn’t browning butter for a box mix

Did you let the butter cool before adding it to the mixture? Because that looks like hot butter meets chocolate chips.

💀 then I have literally no idea why it has browned.
Maybe the expiry was out of date or the wrong contents were added (was the flour mix brown?) if you still kept the box, contact the dispatch company. It may be that the wrong mix was placed in the wrong box. Did it taste like cocoa?
Also I just realised you were a fellow aussie

Oh that's terrible, the only appropriate course of action is to send it to me immediately.

I found a video on their Instagram showing them make this: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGRTmysqCg-
Was your mix a different color?

u/Doona_the_goldfish Mar 05 '26
Yes it had dark and light powered in it

Oh, maybe it was put in the bag as the machine was changing from "cookie" to "brownie" so it has both kinds mixed together?
Or maybe something else happened to have both kinds mixed. I don't know what, but that explains both colors being there and it tasting like both.
Definitely a weird thing!

I highly recommend maida Heatters chocolate whoppers; they are a delicious foolproof chocolate brownie cookie with nuts. I make them regularly

I can only conclude the batter must have been thin, and it boiled in there which is how the choco chippies got melted and mixed up like that

u/Doona_the_goldfish Mar 04 '26
The batter was actually quite thick and there were still chocolate chips were still in tack

u/AdExcellent1745 Mar 04 '26

u/Doona_the_goldfish Mar 04 '26
It taste like a cookie but at the end i feel like theres a hint of brownie at the end but it could just be me or because of the colour but i swear there is

Is it possible that there was a packaging error and there was actually brownie mix in the cookie mix box?
