Why You’ll Love These Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs

There’s a lot to love about these bite-sized treats. Let’s go over a few reasons why you’ll be obsessed with these:

1. Double Dessert Goodness

Combining chocolate chip cookie dough with rich brownies gives you the best of both worlds. It’s like biting into layers of your childhood favorites.

2. No-Bake Cookie Dough

Worried about eating raw cookie dough? No worries! This recipe skips the eggs, making it a safe-to-eat, no-bake dough that’s just as satisfying as the classic.

3. Perfect Make-Ahead Dessert

These brownie bombs are perfect for making ahead of time. You can freeze them for a party or have them stashed away for when that sweet craving hits.

4. Fun and Customizable

You can customize the size, shape, and chocolate coating of these bombs to suit your taste. Want to add a sprinkle of sea salt on top or some colorful sprinkles? Go for it!


The Taste: What to Expect

Now, let’s talk about the taste. You might be wondering how all these elements come together. Imagine biting into a chocolate shell that cracks open to reveal a layer of rich, creamy cookie dough. Then, just when you think it couldn’t get better, your teeth sink into a chewy brownie center. The balance of textures and flavors is irresistible!

The sweet and buttery cookie dough, with its bits of mini chocolate chips, provides a soft contrast to the dense, fudgy brownie. Meanwhile, the semi-sweet chocolate coating adds a hint of bitterness to balance out the sweetness of the dough and brownie.


Ingredients for Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs

Here’s what you’ll need to bring this deliciousness to life:

Brownie Layer:

  • 1 box brownie mix, prepared and cooled
    Pro tip: Use a fudgy brownie mix for the best result!

Cookie Dough Layer:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
    You want it soft enough to mix easily but not melted.
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
    This adds that deep, molasses-like sweetness.
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    To make the flour safe to eat raw, you can heat-treat it by spreading it on a baking sheet and baking at 350°F for about 5 minutes.
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Chocolate Coating:

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
    The coconut oil helps the chocolate melt smoothly and gives it a nice sheen.

Tools You’ll Need

Before we dive into the instructions, let’s go over the necessary tools for this recipe:

  • Mixing bowls: You’ll need one for the cookie dough and another for melting the chocolate.
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer: To cream the butter and sugars for the dough.
  • Microwave-safe bowl: For melting the chocolate coating.
  • Baking sheet: To chill the brownie bombs.
  • Parchment paper: For placing the brownie bombs on while they set.
  • Small cookie scoop: Optional, but helps to create uniform cookie dough balls.

How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs

Let’s get to the fun part: making these delectable brownie bombs! 🍪🍫

Step 1: Prepare and Cool the Brownies

First, start by baking the brownies according to the package instructions. Let them cool completely. You’ll only need small squares of brownie for the center of each bomb, so you can enjoy the leftover pieces on their own or save them for another recipe. (Or, let’s be honest, just snack on them as you go!)

Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough

While the brownies cool, it’s time to whip up the cookie dough. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. This step ensures that the sugars dissolve nicely into the butter for a smooth dough.

Next, gradually mix in the flour. You can heat-treat the flour to make it safe for raw consumption by baking it for 5 minutes at 350°F. Once the flour is fully combined, gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.

Step 3: Assemble the Bombs

Now comes the fun part: assembling your brownie bombs! Start by rolling the cookie dough into 1-inch balls. Flatten each ball slightly and place a small square of cooled brownie in the center. Wrap the dough around the brownie, rolling it back into a ball to fully encase the brownie.

Step 4: Freeze the Cookie Dough Balls

Place your assembled brownie bombs on a parchment-lined baking sheet and pop them in the freezer for 15-20 minutes. This helps firm them up and makes dipping them in chocolate easier.

Step 5: Coat in Chocolate

While the brownie bombs are chilling, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.

Once the cookie dough brownie bombs are firm, dip each one into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Place the coated bombs back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and let them set in the fridge for about 20 minutes.


What to Serve with Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs

These brownie bombs are the ultimate indulgence, but if you’re looking for something to serve alongside them, here are a few suggestions:

  • A cold glass of milk: Nothing complements the sweetness like a refreshing glass of milk!
  • Vanilla ice cream: For a next-level dessert, serve your brownie bombs with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
  • Coffee or espresso: The bitterness of coffee or espresso balances out the sweetness of the bombs.

Tips for the Perfect Brownie Bombs

  • Don’t skip the freezing step! It helps the dough set and makes dipping the bombs in chocolate much easier.
  • Work quickly when coating in chocolate. If the cookie dough balls start to soften, pop them back in the freezer for a few minutes.
  • Customize your coating. You can use white chocolate, dark chocolate, or even add toppings like crushed nuts or sprinkles.

Storing Your Brownie Bombs

Once they’ve set, you can store your Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. They also freeze beautifully! If you plan to freeze them, make sure to store them in a single layer or separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking. They’ll keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.


Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use homemade brownies?

Absolutely! If you have a favorite homemade brownie recipe, feel free to use that instead of the box mix.

What if I don’t have coconut oil for the chocolate coating?

No problem! You can use vegetable oil or shortening instead. Both will help the chocolate melt smoothly.

Can I make these gluten-free?

Yes, simply use a gluten-free brownie mix and swap the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free flour blend.
