Cookie Dough Center
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 cup (90g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Brownie Batter
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Prepare the Cookie Dough Center: In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract and blend well. Gradually mix in heat-treated flour and salt. Stir in milk one tablespoon at a time, just until the dough holds together. Fold in chocolate chips thoroughly. Shape the dough into small, bite-sized balls and chill in the refrigerator to firm up.
- Make the Brownie Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter with granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time and mix in vanilla extract until the mixture is shiny and combined. Sift cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt into the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined, creating a thick but pourable batter.
- Assemble the Brownie Bombs: Prepare a muffin tin or silicone molds by lining or greasing them. Spoon a layer of brownie batter into each cup, then place a chilled cookie dough ball in the center. Cover the dough completely with more brownie batter, smoothing the tops with a spatula for even baking.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake the assembled brownie bombs at 350°F (175°C) for 18-22 minutes, watching closely after 15 minutes. The edges should be set and slightly pulling away from the pan, while the centers remain soft but not liquid.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownie bombs to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes to firm up, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm for a gooey experience or at room temperature for a chewier texture.
Notes
- Chill cookie dough balls before wrapping them in brownie batter to maintain their shape.
- Use room temperature eggs and butter for smooth mixing without lumps.
- Do not overmix brownie batter to keep brownies fudgy instead of dense.
- Monitor baking time carefully; slightly underbaking ensures a gooey center.
- Line muffin tins with parchment paper or silicone liners for easier removal and cleaner edges.
