💕😋 Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs 😋💕
Some desserts are so playful and indulgent that they instantly bring out the inner child in all of us. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs are one of those creations. Imagine the joy of biting into a rich chocolate shell, sinking your teeth into a fudgy brownie layer, and finally reaching the sweet center of soft, egg-free cookie dough. Every bite is a decadent surprise, combining three beloved treats—cookies, brownies, and chocolate—into one bite-sized delight. These bombs are not just desserts; they’re an experience, perfect for parties, gifts, or simply spoiling yourself.
Ingredients
For the cookie dough filling:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (toasted if desired for safety)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
For the brownie layer:
- 1 batch of brownies (boxed mix or homemade), baked and cooled completely
For coating:
- 2 cups semisweet or milk chocolate chips, melted
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smoother coating)
- Extra sprinkles or mini chocolate chips for decoration (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Cookie Dough
In a medium bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until creamy. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the flour and salt until smooth. Finally, fold in the mini chocolate chips. Roll the dough into small bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 2: Prepare the Brownie Layer
Bake your brownies according to package or recipe instructions, then allow them to cool completely. Once cooled, cut the brownies into small squares or simply break off pieces that can be flattened. Each piece should be big enough to wrap around a cookie dough ball.
Step 3: Assemble the Bombs
Take one chilled cookie dough ball and flatten a piece of brownie around it, gently rolling between your palms until the dough is completely encased. Repeat this process until all cookie dough balls are covered with brownies. At this point, you’ll have fudgy brownie spheres with a sweet cookie dough center.
Step 4: Coat in Chocolate
Melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil or shortening in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Dip each brownie-covered ball into the melted chocolate, coating completely. Place the chocolate-dipped bombs onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. While the chocolate is still wet, you can add sprinkles, a drizzle of white chocolate, or extra mini chips for decoration.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
Allow the coated bombs to set in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate shell hardens. Once firm, they are ready to serve. These treats can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, though they rarely last that long because they’re irresistible!
Tips for Success
- Toast your flour: For food safety, toast flour in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 5–7 minutes before using it in raw cookie dough.
- Chill often: If the dough or brownie layer gets too soft, chill them again to make rolling easier.
- Flavor upgrades: Swap chocolate chips with peanut butter chips, caramel bits, or white chocolate for fun variations.
- Perfect coating: Use a fork or dipping tool to coat each bomb in chocolate smoothly.
Serving Ideas
These bombs are amazing party desserts. Serve them in mini cupcake liners for a polished presentation, or stack them on a tiered tray for a festive look. They also make great edible gifts when packed in a small box with tissue paper. Pair them with a glass of cold milk, a cup of coffee, or even hot cocoa for a cozy indulgence.
