Ingredients:
For the brownie centers:
- 1 batch of baked brownies (use your favorite recipe or store-bought)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, for added texture)
For the cookie dough coating:
- 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 for safe consumption)
- 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 Centers:
Start by baking a batch of brownies using your favorite recipe or store-bought mix. Once baked and cooled, crumble the brownies into small pieces and roll them into bite-sized balls. Set them aside for assembly. - Make the Cookie Dough Coating:
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until creamy and smooth. Add the milk and vanilla extract, then gradually mix in the heat-treated flour and salt. Stir until fully combined. Finally, fold in the mini chocolate chips for a bit of crunch. - Assemble the Brownie Bombs:
Take each brownie ball and cover it with a layer of cookie dough. Roll the brownie bombs gently in your hands to smooth out the cookie dough coating. Repeat until all the brownie balls are fully covered. - Add the Chocolate Drizzle:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until the chocolate is fully melted. Using a spoon or piping bag, drizzle the melted chocolate over each brownie bomb. - Chill and Serve:
Place the cookie dough brownie bombs on a parchment-lined tray and chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. Once set, they are ready to serve!
Additional Tips (Serving & Storage):
For the best results, serve these brownie bombs chilled so the cookie dough stays firm. You can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To add variety, consider using flavored brownies like peanut butter brownies or adding a pinch of sea salt to the drizzle for a sweet-and-salty combo.
