What You’ll Need to Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs

Before you start, make sure you’ve got all of the ingredients ready to go. You probably already have most of these in your kitchen!

For the cookie dough filling:

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated, see note below)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

For the brownie base:

1 box brownie mix (plus the ingredients listed on the box, usually eggs, oil, and water)
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, for added chocolatey goodness)

For the coating:

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (to make the chocolate smooth)

How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs

Making these brownie bombs might seem like a lot of steps, but trust me, it’s worth it. These little treats are packed with flavor and texture in every bite.

Step 1: Make the Cookie Dough Filling

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract and mix to combine.
Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until the dough comes together. Be sure to use heat-treated flour for this step (you can heat it in the oven for 5 minutes at 350°F to kill any potential bacteria).
Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
Roll the cookie dough into small balls, about the size of a marble (roughly 1 inch in diameter). Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze them for at least 30 minutes. Freezing the cookie dough balls will help them hold their shape when you place them inside the brownies.

Step 2: Prepare the Brownie Base

Preheat your oven according to the instructions on your brownie mix box (typically 350°F or 180°C).
Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions. This usually involves mixing the brownie mix with eggs, oil, and water.
If you like extra chocolate in your brownies, stir in 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips into the brownie batter.
Grease or line a 9×9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, and pour in the brownie batter, spreading it evenly.

Step 3: Assemble the Brownie Bombs

Take the frozen cookie dough balls out of the freezer.
Using a spoon or your hands, scoop a small amount of brownie batter and flatten it out in your palm.
Place one of the frozen cookie dough balls in the center of the flattened brownie batter, then gently wrap the brownie batter around the cookie dough to form a ball.
Repeat this process until all of the brownie batter and cookie dough are used up. Arrange the brownie bombs in the baking dish, placing them close together but not touching.

Step 4: Bake the Brownie Bombs

Bake according to the brownie mix instructions, but check the brownies a few minutes early. Since the brownie bombs are thicker than regular brownies, they may need a bit more time to cook through. Start checking around 25 minutes, and continue baking for another 5-10 minutes if needed.
The top should be firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the brownies should come out with just a few moist crumbs. Don’t worry if the toothpick comes out slightly gooey—this just means the cookie dough inside is perfectly soft and delicious!

Step 5: Coat with Chocolate

Once the brownie bombs are baked and cooled slightly, it’s time to coat them in chocolate.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with the vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Dip each brownie bomb into the melted chocolate, covering it completely. Place the coated brownie bombs on a parchment-lined baking sheet to set.

Step 6: Let the Chocolate Set

Allow the chocolate coating to firm up at room temperature, or you can speed up the process by popping them into the fridge for about 30 minutes.
Once the chocolate is fully set, your Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs are ready to enjoy!

How I Like to Serve Them

I love serving these brownie bombs at parties or gatherings because they are so easy to eat and always a hit. Here are a few fun ways I like to serve them:

As an indulgent snack: Sometimes, I’ll just grab one (okay, maybe two) when I’m craving something sweet. These bombs are the perfect size for a quick snack without feeling too guilty.
With a glass of milk: A classic pairing for any chocolatey dessert. Pour yourself a glass of ice-cold milk, and enjoy these brownie bombs with a delicious, creamy drink.
As a party treat: These brownie bombs are perfect for sharing. Serve them at your next party, and watch your friends and family devour them in no time!

Tips for Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs

Don’t skip freezing the cookie dough: Freezing the cookie dough balls ensures they won’t melt into the brownie batter while baking. It helps them hold their shape and stay chewy.
Use a high-quality brownie mix: The brownie base is just as important as the cookie dough filling. If you have a favorite brand of brownie mix, feel free to use it for the best flavor.
Let the chocolate set: Make sure the melted chocolate coating fully sets before serving to ensure the brownies aren’t too messy to eat.

Storing Leftovers

If you have any leftovers (which is unlikely!), here’s how to store them:

In the fridge: Store leftover brownie bombs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. The fridge helps the chocolate coating stay firm and keeps the brownie bombs fresh.
Freezing: These brownie bombs freeze wonderfully. Wrap each one in plastic wrap and store them in an airtight container or freezer bag. When you’re ready to eat, just thaw them in the fridge overnight.
