Spider-Man Brookies
July 13, 2026
An easy superhero dessert with fudgy brownies and soft sugar cookies!
Spider-Man Brookies combine two favorite desserts in one seriously fun treat. A thick, fudgy brownie base is filled with extra chocolate, then topped with Spider-Man sugar cookies and matching superhero sprinkles. The cookies are carefully added partway through baking so the designs stay visible while the brownies finish cooking underneath. The assorted shapes make every piece look a little different, which is half the fun.
Flavor Profile
Every bite starts with a rich, fudgy, and chocolatey brownie. The sugar cookies bake up soft and buttery with crisp edges, adding a sweet vanilla flavor that pairs perfectly with the chocolate. The matching sprinkles add just a little crunch and make every slice feel extra fun.

Spider-Man Brookies
Ingredients
Brownie Layer
- 1 (18.3-ounce) box fudge brownie mix
- Ingredients called for on the brownie mix box (typically eggs, oil, and water)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips and chocolate sprinkles (a mix of both)
Topping
- 1 package Pillsbury Spider-Man Shape Sugar Cookie Dough
- Red, white, blue, and yellow sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment.
- Prepare the brownie batter according to the package directions. Fold in the chocolate chips and chocolate sprinkles, then spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake the brownies for 10 minutes less than the time listed on the package.
- Remove the pan from the oven and gently arrange the Spider-Man cookies over the partially baked brownies, leaving a little space between each cookie. Sprinkle the exposed brownie batter with the red, white, blue, and yellow sprinkles.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for 8 to 12 minutes more, or until the cookie dough is lightly golden around the edges and the brownies are just set. A toothpick inserted into the brownie portion should come out with a few moist crumbs, but no wet batter.
- Let the brookies cool completely in the pan. Lift them out using the parchment paper.
- Cut into a fun mix of squares, rectangles, and triangles so each piece shows off the Spider-Man cookies in a different way.
Tips
- For the cleanest slices, refrigerate the brookies for 30 to 60 minutes before cutting.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
FAQ
Can I use a different brownie mix?
Yes. Any family-size fudge brownie mix around 18 ounces works well.
Can I use different character cookies?
Absolutely. This recipe works with almost any seasonal or character-shaped refrigerated sugar cookies.
How do I know when they’re finished baking?
The cookie edges should be lightly golden, and a toothpick inserted into the brownie portion should come out with moist crumbs instead of wet batter.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes. They’re great baked a day ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
Why should I chill them before cutting?
A quick chill helps the brownies firm up so you get cleaner slices without squishing the cookies.
