Brownie Batter Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (115g) butter, melted
- 1/3 cup (35g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
Cookie Dough Center Ingredients
- 1/3 cup (75g) butter, softened
- 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar, packed
- 1/8 cup (25g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup (90g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
- Prepare the Brownie Batter: Melt the butter and mix it thoroughly with the unsweetened cocoa powder to infuse rich chocolate flavor. In another bowl, combine granulated sugar and eggs, beating until creamy. Gently fold in flour, salt, and baking powder until you achieve a smooth, uniform batter ready to be poured into molds.
- Make the Cookie Dough Center: In a separate bowl, cream together softened butter with both brown and granulated sugars until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well. Gradually incorporate flour and a pinch of salt, then fold in the chocolate chips. Shape this dough into small balls that will serve as the gooey centers of the brownie bombs.
- Assemble the Bombs: Line a muffin tin or silicone mold by filling each cup about halfway with the brownie batter. Place a cookie dough ball in the center of each cup, then cover it generously with more brownie batter to seal the dough inside, ensuring a gooey surprise in every bite.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake the assembled brownie bombs in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20 to 25 minutes. Watch for a firm top with a still soft middle, avoiding overbaking to maintain the fudgy texture. Let them cool slightly before removing from molds to keep the centers gooey.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled enough to handle, carefully pop the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs out of the molds. Enjoy them warm for melty centers or at room temperature for chewy, chocolaty bites.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter and eggs for better mixing and smooth batter.
- Do not overbake; remove bombs while still slightly soft to keep gooey centers.
- Silicone molds are recommended for easy removal without breaking.
- Chill cookie dough balls lightly before baking to help maintain shape.
- Try mixing semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips to intensify flavor.
