Irresistible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bites Snack
These chocolate chip cookie dough brownie bites are a decadent dessert that combines the best of both worlds: chewy textures and rich, sweet flavors.
- Total Time: 35
- Yield: 24-28 bites 1x
Ingredients
✓ ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
✓ 1 cup granulated sugar
✓ 2 large eggs
✓ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
✓ ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
✓ ½ cup all-purpose flour
✓ ¼ teaspoon salt
✓ ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
✓ ½ cup brown sugar
✓ 2 tablespoons milk
✓ 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated*) (*Spread on baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.)
✓ ½ cup mini chocolate chips
✓ ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
✓ 1 tablespoon butter or cream (optional) (For smooth drizzle)
Instructions
✓ Mix the melted butter and sugar in a large bowl until well combined.
✓ Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
✓ In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
✓ Stir in the softened butter, brown sugar, milk, mini chocolate chips, and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
✓ Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
✓ Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
✓ Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. You should get about 24-28 bites depending on the size you choose.
✓ Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the edges are set but still slightly soft in the center. The centers will firm up as they cool.
✓ Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Allow them to rest for at least 30 minutes to ensure the chocolate chips are set and the texture is perfect.
Notes
For an extra touch, chill the dough before shaping and baking. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
