These Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs combine fudgy brownies with edible cookie dough for a truly indulgent treat. Each bite reveals a gooey chocolate center, making these treats perfect for any chocolate lover!
Ingredients:
For the Brownie Base:
- 1 box brownie mix (prepared according to package instructions and cooled)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional for extra gooeyness)
For the Cookie Dough Layer:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
For the Chocolate Coating:
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable oil (for a smoother coating)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Brownies
Prepare the brownie mix according to package instructions. Allow them to cool completely and then crumble them into small pieces in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough
In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and mix. Gradually add in the heat-treated flour and salt, mixing until combined. Add milk to reach your desired consistency, then fold in mini chocolate chips.
Step 3: Form the Brownie Balls
Take a small amount of brownie mixture and roll it into a ball, roughly 1 inch in diameter. Set aside and repeat until all the brownie mix is used.
Step 4: Wrap with Cookie Dough
Take a portion of cookie dough and flatten it in your hands. Place a brownie ball in the center and gently wrap the cookie dough around it, rolling it in your hands to form a smooth ball. Repeat until all brownie balls are coated.
Step 5: Chill
Place the cookie dough brownie bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
Step 6: Coat in Chocolate
Melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Dip each brownie bomb into the chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place back on the parchment-lined sheet.
Step 7: Decorate and Serve
If desired, drizzle more chocolate over the top and sprinkle with additional mini chocolate chips. Allow the coating to set before serving.

- Serving: These brownie bombs are perfect for parties or as an indulgent dessert. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
