Ingredients

• Brownie Mix: Convenient for a rich, fudgy base that’s already prepared.
• Unsalted Butter: Gives the cookie dough its soft and rich texture.
• Granulated Sugar & Brown Sugar: Adds sweetness and helps the dough stay moist.
• Milk & Vanilla Extract: Adds flavor and moisture to the dough.
• All-Purpose Flour: The main structure of the cookie dough.
• Mini Chocolate Chips: For the signature chocolate chip flavor in the cookie dough.
• Chocolate Candy Coating: To dip the bombs and create a delicious chocolate shell.

How to Make the Recipe

Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Cookie Dough

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
3. Gradually add in the flour, salt, and mini chocolate chips. Stir to combine into a thick cookie dough.
4. Roll the cookie dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Freeze the cookie dough balls for 30 minutes. This step helps prevent the dough from melting too quickly when inside the brownie.

Step 2: Prepare the Brownies

5. While the cookie dough is chilling, prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions. Bake the brownies as directed, but instead of using a baking pan, cut the brownies into small squares once baked.

Step 3: Form the Brownie Bombs

6. Once the brownies are baked and slightly cooled, flatten each brownie square with your hands.
7. Take the frozen cookie dough balls and place one in the center of each flattened brownie square. Wrap the brownie around the cookie dough ball, making sure the dough is completely enclosed.

Step 4: Coat the Bombs

8. Melt the chocolate candy coating according to the package instructions, usually in the microwave or using a double boiler.
9. Dip each brownie bomb into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is evenly coated. Place the coated bombs back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 5: Set and Enjoy

10. Allow the chocolate coating to set at room temperature or in the fridge until firm. Once the chocolate has hardened, they are ready to enjoy!

Tips for Making the Recipe

• Chill the Cookie Dough: Freezing the cookie dough balls before wrapping them in brownies helps prevent the dough from melting too quickly when surrounded by the hot brownies.
• Baking Brownies: If you want a thicker brownie surrounding your dough, you can double the brownie mix and bake it in a deeper pan.
• Substitute Nuts: If you prefer, you can add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the cookie dough or sprinkle them on top of the chocolate coating for extra texture.

How to Serve

These Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs are perfect for a party dessert, a family gathering, or a special treat just for you! Serve them alongside a glass of milk or your favorite coffee for the ultimate dessert experience.

Storage and Freezing Tips

Storing Leftovers

• Store the brownie bombs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• For a longer shelf life, refrigerate them for up to a week.

Freezing the Brownie Bombs

• You can freeze the brownie bombs before dipping them in chocolate. Simply place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer them to a freezer-safe container or bag. When ready to serve, dip them in the melted chocolate and allow them to set as usual.

FAQs

1. Can I make these without the chocolate candy coating?

Yes! If you prefer, you can skip the chocolate coating. The brownie itself is still delicious, and the cookie dough inside adds plenty of sweetness.

2. Can I use store-bought brownie mix?

Absolutely! Using a store-bought brownie mix makes this recipe even easier and quicker. Just follow the instructions on the box, and you’ll have the perfect brownie base.

3. What can I do if the dough is too sticky?

If your cookie dough is too sticky to roll into balls, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it firms up enough to handle.

4. Can I make these without freezing the dough?

While freezing the dough helps prevent it from melting into the brownie too quickly, you can still make the recipe without freezing. Just be careful when assembling the brownie bombs and make sure the dough is securely enclosed.
