If you’re a dessert lover, you know that two of the best things in the world are chewy brownies and raw cookie dough.

Perfect for a weekend treat, a party, or just a little self-indulgence, these bombs are big on flavor, texture, and fun.

 Ingredients

For the Cookie Dough:

• ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
• ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp milk (or as needed for consistency)
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 cup mini chocolate chips

For the Brownie Layer:

• ½ cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt

 Instructions

Step 1: Make the Cookie Dough

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Mix in the vanilla extract and milk, one tablespoon at a time, until smooth.
3. Gradually fold in the flour and salt until fully combined.
4. Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
5. Shape the cookie dough into small balls (about 1–1.5 tbsp each) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
6. Pro Tip: Chilling the dough prevents it from melting when you bake the brownies around it.

Step 2: Prepare the Brownie Batter

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin.
2. Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave, then let it cool slightly.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Stir in the melted butter.
5. Add the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt, and mix until just combined.

Step 3: Assemble the Bombs

1. Spoon a small amount of brownie batter into each muffin cup—enough to cover the bottom.
2. Place a chilled cookie dough ball in the center of each cup.
3. Cover the cookie dough with more brownie batter until the muffin cup is about ¾ full.
4. Smooth the tops lightly with a spoon.

Step 4: Bake

1. Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft.
2. Let the brownie bombs cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
3. Pro Tip: These taste amazing slightly warm, but they also keep well for several days in an airtight container.

 Serving Suggestions

• Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate for a fancy touch.
• Serve with vanilla ice cream for an over-the-top dessert experience.
• Perfect for parties, potlucks, or as a gift in a cute box!

 Extra Tips & Tricks

• Mini chocolate chips work best in the cookie dough—they melt less than large chips.
• Do not overbake: The brownie should be fudgy, not dry.
• Freezing option: You can assemble the bombs and freeze before baking. Bake straight from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes.
• Mix-ins: Try adding nuts, caramel bits, or even peanut butter chips to the cookie dough for extra indulgence.

These Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs are the ultimate crowd-pleaser. Each bite delivers a crisp brownie edge, gooey chocolate center, and sweet, buttery cookie dough that makes it hard to stop at just one.
