🍫🍪 Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs

A decadent fusion of fudgy brownies, creamy edible cookie dough, and a rich chocolate shell — these little spheres of joy are the dessert equivalent of a warm hug. Perfect for celebrations, gifting, or simply treating yourself on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

📜 Introduction

The Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bomb is what happens when the best dessert worlds collide — chewy brownie meets nostalgic cookie dough, all wrapped in a silky chocolate coating. Imagine biting into a chocolate truffle, but instead of just ganache, you find layers of cookie dough and brownie that melt in your mouth. These are not just treats; they’re experiences.

This recipe skips raw eggs and heat-treats the flour, so your cookie dough is 100% safe to enjoy. They can be stored in the fridge for a cool, firm texture, or served at room temperature for a softer, more luxurious bite.

📝 Ingredients

For the Edible Cookie Dough:

  • ½ cup (1 stick / 113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cups (160g) all-purpose flour, heat-treated*
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup (130g) mini chocolate chips

*Heat-treat flour by baking it on a tray at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes or microwaving in 30-second bursts until it reaches 165°F (74°C). This kills any bacteria.

For the Brownies:

  • 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
    OR homemade:
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup (30g) cocoa powder
  • ½ cup (65g) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp baking powder

For the Chocolate Coating:

  • 2 cups (350g) semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 2 tsp vegetable oil or coconut oil

🥣 Instructions

Step 1 – Make the Brownies:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan.
  2. If using box mix, prepare as directed and bake until just set (slightly underbaked is fine).
  3. Let brownies cool completely, then cut into small squares or crumble into chunks.

Step 2 – Make the Edible Cookie Dough:

  1. Beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes).
  2. Mix in milk and vanilla extract.
  3. Add heat-treated flour and salt, mixing until combined.
  4. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
  5. Chill dough for 30 minutes so it’s easier to handle.

Step 3 – Assemble the Bombs:

  1. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten slightly.
  2. Place a small brownie chunk in the center and wrap cookie dough around it, rolling into a ball.
  3. Place on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 15–20 minutes.

Step 4 – Coat in Chocolate:

  1. Melt chocolate chips with vegetable oil in the microwave (20–30 second intervals, stirring between each) or over a double boiler.
  2. Dip each frozen ball into the chocolate using a fork, letting excess drip off.
  3. Place back on parchment paper and let chocolate set. You can drizzle extra chocolate or sprinkle sea salt on top for flair.

Creative bakers experimented with layers of different desserts, leading to this ultimate mashup: the gooey chew of brownies with the nostalgic sweetness of cookie dough. The layering — brownie inside, dough outside, chocolate shell sealing it all — is what makes them texturally addictive.
