Ingredients:
For the Cookie Dough:
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated to kill any bacteria)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (½ cup)
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
For the Brownie Base:
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips (for the top of the brownie bomb)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Cookie Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add in the vanilla extract and condensed milk, mixing until well incorporated.
- Gradually add the flour and mix until the dough forms.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the cookie dough for 30 minutes to firm up.
2. Prepare the Brownie Base:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a separate bowl, melt the butter and mix it with the granulated sugar until smooth.
- Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Stir in the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until the batter is smooth.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips to the batter.
3. Assemble the Brownie Bombs:
- Once the cookie dough is chilled, scoop out about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and roll it into a ball.
- Press the dough ball into the center of each brownie bomb and cover the dough with brownie batter. Be sure to completely enclose the cookie dough inside the brownie mixture.
- Place the brownie bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the brownie edges are set but the center is still slightly soft (don’t overbake, as you want them fudgy!).
- Let the brownie bombs cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. Enjoy!
- Once cooled, dig in and enjoy these delicious bites of heaven, with a mix of gooey brownie and chewy cookie dough in every bite.
History:
Brownies, as we know them today, originated in the United States in the late 19th century. While the exact history is still debated, many credit the invention of the brownie to a cook from the Palmer House Hotel in Chicago. The modern version of brownies evolved over the years, eventually being combined with other classic desserts to create variations like this one.
Chocolate chip cookies, on the other hand, were invented by Ruth Wakefield in 1938 at her Toll House Inn in Massachusetts. She added chopped-up pieces of chocolate to a butter cookie dough, creating the first chocolate chip cookie. Over time, chocolate chip cookies became one of the most popular cookies in the world.
Now, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs combine these two dessert icons into one irresistible treat, making it a modern twist on classics.
Formation:
The Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs are formed in layers. First, a rich and fudgy brownie batter is prepared. Then, a scoop of chilled cookie dough is wrapped in the brownie mixture to form a bite-sized ball. When baked, the result is a perfect harmony of textures and flavors: soft, gooey brownie on the outside, with a hidden surprise of sweet, chewy cookie dough in the center.
