Dive into the irresistible world of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs, a decadent treat that marries the gooey goodness of cookie dough with the rich, fudgy delight of brownies. Each bite is a journey through layers of texture and taste, making it the perfect dessert for those who refuse to compromise between their favorite sweets.


Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Cookie Dough:
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 1/4 cup brown sugar
    • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 2 tablespoons milk
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup miniature chocolate chips
  • For the Brownies:
    • 1 box brownie mix (plus required ingredients on the box)
  • For the Coating:
    • 2 cups chocolate chips, melted
    • Optional toppings: white chocolate drizzle, sprinkles, chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Cookie Dough: In a stand mixer, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add milk and vanilla, mixing well. Gradually beat in flour and salt until combined. Stir in mini chocolate chips. Scoop into balls and freeze on a baking sheet for 1 hour.
  2. Baking the Brownies: Prepare brownie batter as per box instructions and bake in an 8×8 inch pan. Allow to cool completely before proceeding.
  3. Assembling the Bombs: Cut the brownie into 16 squares. Flatten each square and place a frozen cookie dough ball in the center. Wrap the brownie around the dough to form a ball. Repeat with remaining squares.
  4. Final Touches: Dip each bomb into melted chocolate, ensuring a complete coat. Add optional toppings while chocolate is still wet. Let set on a wire rack.

Notes

  1. Freezing is Key: For the best results, ensure that the cookie dough balls are thoroughly frozen before you wrap them with the brownie layer. This step prevents the cookie dough from baking along with the brownie, maintaining its distinct texture and taste within the bomb. It also makes handling and assembling much easier, ensuring a smooth brownie layer without the dough losing its shape.
  2. Quality Ingredients Matter: The taste of your Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs can vary significantly based on the quality of ingredients used. Opt for high-quality chocolate chips and cocoa powder for the brownies, as these components are critical for achieving the rich, indulgent flavor that makes these bombs so irresistible. If possible, use real butter and pure vanilla extract for a more authentic and flavorful cookie dough.
  3. Customization is Encouraged: While the classic chocolate chip cookie dough and brownie combination is delicious, feel free to customize your bombs. Experiment with different types of cookie dough, such as peanut butter or double chocolate, for a new flavor profile. For the outer chocolate shell, consider using white or semi-sweet chocolate, or even adding a hint of sea salt or crushed nuts for an extra layer of texture and taste. These modifications can make the recipe uniquely yours and cater to various taste preferences.
