Bakery-style jumbo cookies loaded with brownie brittle, chocolate chunks, patriotic M&M’s, and plenty of sprinkles in every bite!
Liberty Crunch Brownie Chunk Cookies might be my new favorite excuse to bake during summer. These cookies are thick, loaded with chocolate, packed with crunchy brownie brittle pieces, and jumbo with the best texture. Every bite is filled with melty chocolate chunks, colorful candy-coated chocolate, and crispy brownie crunch. They’re festive, fun, and a great addition to your jumbo cookie collection.
Flavor Profile
These cookies have a rich buttery vanilla base filled with layers of chocolate flavor. The semi-sweet chocolate chunks add richness, the white chocolate chips bring sweetness, and the M&M’s add little bursts of candy-coated crunch. The brownie brittle gives every bite an extra chocolatey crunch that sets these apart from a traditional chocolate chip cookie. The result is soft centers, crisp edges, and plenty of texture throughout.

Liberty Crunch Brownie Chunk Cookies
Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, cold
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Mix-Ins
- 1 cup M&M’s Milk Chocolate Red, White & Blue Mix
- 1 cup Red, White & Blue Brownie Brittle, broken into small chunks
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup red, white, and blue sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 410°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Add the cold butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix until combined and crumbly. The mixture should not be fully creamed.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix just until incorporated.
- Add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Mix until a thick dough forms.
- Fold in the M&M’s, brownie brittle pieces, chocolate chunks, white chocolate chips, and sprinkles.
- Divide the dough into large portions, about 5 to 6 ounces each. Shape each portion into a tall mound rather than a smooth ball to help create thick bakery-style cookies.
- Press a few extra M&M’s, brownie brittle pieces, and chocolate chunks onto the tops of the cookies.
- Place several inches apart on the prepared baking sheets and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still appear slightly underbaked.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 30 minutes. Allow them to finish setting for another hour before serving for the best texture.
Notes
Yield: 8 to 10 jumbo bakery-style cookies.
