Ingredients:
For the brownie center, you can use your favorite brownie recipe or store-bought brownies for convenience. Either way, the key is having a rich, fudgy center that pairs perfectly with the soft cookie dough coating.
For the brownie:
- 1 batch of baked and cooled brownies (homemade or store-bought)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, for added texture inside the brownie)
For the cookie dough:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (heat-treated to make it safe to eat raw)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
For the chocolate drizzle:
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional, for smoother drizzling)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Prepare the Brownie Base:
Start by baking your favorite brownie recipe or using store-bought brownies. Allow them to cool completely. Once cooled, break the brownies into small pieces, and roll them into bite-sized balls. Set them aside. - Make the Cookie Dough:
In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the milk and vanilla extract, and mix until combined. Slowly add the heat-treated flour and salt, mixing until a smooth dough forms. Finally, fold in the mini chocolate chips. - Assemble the Brownie Bombs:
Take each brownie ball and cover it completely with the cookie dough, rolling it into a smooth ball with your hands. Continue this process until all the brownie balls are coated in cookie dough. - Add the Chocolate Drizzle:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted. Using a spoon or piping bag, drizzle the melted chocolate over each cookie dough brownie bomb. - Chill and Serve:
Place the brownie bombs in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the cookie dough and chocolate drizzle to set. Once set, they’re ready to enjoy!
Additional Tips (Serving & Storage):
For best results, serve these brownie bombs chilled so the cookie dough stays firm, but they are delicious at room temperature as well. You can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For a fun twist, try using different types of brownie bases, like blondies or even peanut butter brownies, to create unique flavor combinations.
FAQs About Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs:
- Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! These brownie bombs can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge until you’re ready to serve them. - How do I heat-treat the flour?

Absolutely! You can use different flavors like mint brownies, peanut butter brownies, or even add nuts for extra texture. - What if I don’t have coconut oil?
