You\u2019ll want the brownies to be on the fudgier side rather than cakey, so be sure not to overbake them. Once done, let them cool completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the brownies are cooling, it\u2019s time to make the cookie dough filling. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Add in the milk and vanilla extract and continue to mix until well combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, gradually add in the heat-treated flour (to make the cookie dough safe to eat raw) and mix until everything comes together. Finally, fold in the mini chocolate chips. Chill the cookie dough in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes to firm up slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Assemble the Brownie Bombs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the brownies are cool, crumble them into small pieces using your hands. Take about a tablespoon of the brownie crumbles and flatten them in your hand. Scoop a small ball of cookie dough (about 1 tsp) and place it in the center of the brownie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wrap the brownie crumbles around the cookie dough to form a ball, ensuring that the cookie dough is fully encased. Repeat with the remaining brownie and cookie dough until you\u2019ve used it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Place the brownie bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill them in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Coat in Chocolate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil (if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth. Remove the brownie bombs from the fridge and dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Place them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once all the brownie bombs are coated, return them to the fridge for another 15-20 minutes until the chocolate is set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Serve and Enjoy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the chocolate has fully hardened, your Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs are ready to serve! Enjoy them cold or at room temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Notes and Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Heat-Treating Flour<\/strong>: To make the cookie dough safe for consumption, it\u2019s important to heat-treat the flour. You can do this by spreading it on a baking sheet and baking at 350\u00b0F for 5 minutes or microwaving it in short bursts until it reaches 165\u00b0F.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Storage<\/strong>: These brownie bombs can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months. Just thaw in the fridge before serving.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Melting Chocolate<\/strong>: Adding a little coconut oil to the chocolate helps give it a smoother texture and makes it easier to coat the brownie bombs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Variation Ideas<\/strong>:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Swap out the semi-sweet chocolate chips for white chocolate or dark chocolate for a different flavor profile.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the chocolate coating before it sets for a sweet-salty combo.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Try adding chopped nuts or toffee bits to the cookie dough for extra texture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can I use store-bought cookie dough?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, you can use store-bought edible cookie dough to save time. Just make sure it\u2019s safe to eat raw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can I make these ahead of time?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Absolutely! These brownie bombs can be made a day or two in advance and stored in the fridge. They\u2019re also freezer-friendly if you want to prepare them further in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What can I use instead of coconut oil for the chocolate coating?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don\u2019t have coconut oil, you can use vegetable oil or simply melt the chocolate on its own. The oil just helps make the coating a bit smoother and easier to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can I make these gluten-free?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, you can make this recipe gluten-free by using a gluten-free brownie mix and substituting the all-purpose flour in the cookie dough with a gluten-free flour blend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Food and Drink Pairings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pair these rich and decadent Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs with a tall glass of milk or a cup of coffee. They also go great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an over-the-top dessert experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs are the ultimate treat for anyone who loves brownies and cookie dough.
