Ingredients for Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bites

Gathering the right ingredients is crucial when making these Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bites. You’ll need a delightful combination of elements for both the brownie layer and the cookie dough. Here’s what you should have on hand:

Unsalted butter: This adds richness and moisture to both layers. I love using unsalted to control the saltiness.
Granulated sugar: For sweetness and to help the brownies rise perfectly.
Brown sugar: It brings a wonderful depth of flavor in the cookie dough, making it chewy and delicious.

Eggs: Essential for the brownie layer, they add structure. I use large eggs for the best results.
Vanilla extract: A key flavor enhancer that brings warmth to both layers.
Cocoa powder: Use unsweetened cocoa for that deep chocolate flavor that makes brownies irresistible.

All-purpose flour: A must for both layers; it gives structure. Remember, the flour for the cookie dough needs to be heat-treated to eliminate harmful bacteria.
Salt: Just a pinch enhances the sweetness and balances flavors.
Milk: It keeps the cookie dough moist and adds a lovely texture.

Mini chocolate chips: Perfect for that delicious chocolatey burst in your cookie dough. Feel free to use dairy-free options if preferred.
Semi-sweet chocolate chips: For drizzling, these provide a lovely finishing touch. You can even adjust to dark or milk chocolate based on your taste!
Butter or cream (optional): This helps create a silky smooth chocolate drizzle, making it a little extra special.

How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bites

Ready to create these mouthwatering Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bites? Let’s dive into the steps! Follow along, and soon you’ll be savoring these delightful little treats.

Step 1: Make the Brownies

First things first, you’ll want to preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it’s warming up, grease or line your mini muffin pan with paper liners. This will help with easy removal later. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together your melted unsalted butter and granulated sugar until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and shiny.

Next, add in the eggs one at a time, stirring in each one thoroughly. Don’t forget the vanilla extract—it’s the secret ingredient that brings it all together!

Now, sift in the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt. Stir until just combined; you want it smooth without overmixing. Pour your brownie batter into the muffin pan, filling each cavity about ⅔ full. Bake for 15–18 minutes until the edges are set but the centers are still a bit soft. Let them cool completely in the pan, where they’ll finish setting up nicely!

Step 2: Prepare Cookie Dough

While the brownies cool, it’s time to whip up the egg-free cookie dough. In a bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until it’s fluffy and light—about 2–3 minutes.

Add the milk and vanilla extract, combining them well. Now, here’s the important part: incorporate the heat-treated flour. This step is crucial as it eliminates harmful bacteria you’d find in raw flour. Slowly mix until your dough forms, then gently fold in those adorable mini chocolate chips. You’ll want that extra chocolatey flavor in each bite!

Step 3: Assemble

Now that your brownie bites are cooled and your cookie dough is ready, it’s time for the fun part: assembly! Grab a small scoop of cookie dough and press it gently onto each cooled brownie bite. You want a nice layer, but don’t be afraid to let some of that fudgy brownie peek through. Don’t worry about making it look perfect; the homemade charm is part of the allure!

Step 4: Chocolate Drizzle

Let’s add that beautiful chocolate drizzle to your treats! In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of butter or cream. If you want an extra smooth finish, definitely use one of those options. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring in between until melted and glossy.

Once it’s ready, drizzle generously over the tops of your brownie bites. Let them chill in the fridge for about 20 minutes to set that chocolate drizzle. Once they’re ready, you’ll have the most irresistible treats to share (or not!) with family and friends!

Tips for Success

Make sure your butter is at the right temperature—softened for the cookie dough and melted for the brownies.
Use a mini muffin pan for perfectly portioned bites. It also makes them easy to pop out!

Don’t skip the heat-treating step for the flour; it’s important for safety.
Let the brownie bites cool completely before adding the cookie dough layer.
Experiment with different types of chocolate chips for variety!

Equipment Needed

Mini muffin pan: Essential for shaping the brownie bites. A regular muffin pan works too if you don’t mind larger treats.

Mixing bowls: Use a large bowl for the brownie mix and a medium bowl for the cookie dough.
Whisk and spatula: Great for mixing the ingredients thoroughly. A hand mixer can make the job easier!
Microwave-safe bowl: Necessary for melting the chocolate drizzle. A small saucepan can also work.

Variations

Peanut Butter Swirl: Mix some creamy peanut butter into the brownie layer for a nutty twist. You can also add a peanut butter drizzle instead of chocolate.
Gluten-Free Option: Substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking mix to make these bites gluten-free without sacrificing taste!
Nutty Delight: Toss in some chopped nuts, like walnuts or pecans, into the brownie batter for added crunch and flavor.

Mint Chocolate: Add a few drops of peppermint extract to the brownie batter for a refreshing minty flavor that pairs beautifully with chocolate.
Vegan Version: Swap the eggs with flax eggs and use dairy-free butter and chocolate chips for a completely vegan treat!
