Description

Treat yourself to chocolate chip cookie dough brownie bombs! These decadent bites combine rich brownies and creamy cookie dough for an indulgent dessert.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened: The star of the show, butter adds moisture and richness to both the brownie and cookie dough components.
  • 1 box brownie mix: Using a store-bought mix simplifies the process, allowing you to focus on the cookie dough without sacrificing flavor or texture.
  • 1 cup brown sugar: This ingredient not only sweetens the cookie dough but also adds a rich, caramel-like flavor that enhances the overall taste.
  • 1 cup chocolate chips: These provide bursts of chocolate in every bite, elevating the dessert to a whole new level of indulgence.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour: Essential for achieving the right texture in the cookie dough, flour helps give the dough structure.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract: A staple in baking that enhances flavors and adds depth to the cookie dough.
  • 1/2 tsp salt: Balances the sweetness and enhances the flavors of the brownies and cookie dough.
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk: Optional drizzle that adds an extra layer of sweetness and creaminess to the brownie bombs.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownies: Begin by preheating your oven and greasing a baking pan. Follow the instructions on the brownie mix box to combine the ingredients, usually requiring you to mix the brownie mix with water, oil, and eggs according to the package instructions. Once mixed, pour the batter into the greased pan and bake as directed. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
  2. Make the Cookie Dough: While the brownies are cooling, prepare the cookie dough. In a medium mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup unsalted butter and 1 cup brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add 1 tsp vanilla extract and 1/2 tsp salt, mixing until combined.
  3. Add the Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix in 1 cup all-purpose flour until the dough is smooth and well-combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cookie dough.
  4. Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Fold 1 cup chocolate chips into the cookie dough, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout.
  5. Cut Brownies: Once the brownies have cooled, cut them into small squares. Size can vary; however, 2-inch squares are typically a good size for this recipe.
  6. Assemble the Bombs: Take a spoonful of cookie dough and roll it into a ball. Place the cookie dough ball on top of each brownie square. Gently fold the edges of the brownie over the cookie dough, enclosing it in the brownie. Ensure that the edges are sealed well.
  7. Drizzle with Sweetened Condensed Milk: If you desire, drizzle some 1 can sweetened condensed milk over the assembled brownie bombs for added sweetness and creamy flavor.
  8. Chill: Place the brownie bombs in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
