Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs are the ultimate dessert mashup. I wrap rich, fudgy brownie pieces around a ball of edible chocolate chip cookie dough and then dunk the whole thing in silky melted chocolate. Each bite delivers gooey cookie dough, decadent brownie, and a crisp chocolate shell. It’s pure bliss for anyone who loves their sweets bold and indulgent.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love this recipe because it combines two classic desserts into one over-the-top treat. The texture play is incredible: soft, chewy, and crunchy all at once. It is a no-bake dream (minus baking the brownies), and it feels like a special, fancy dessert without the complicated steps. I often make these for parties, and they disappear fast!
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
- Brownies (prepared and cooled)
- Edible chocolate chip cookie dough (homemade or store-bought)
- Semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
- Coconut oil or shortening (optional, for thinning chocolate)
Directions
- Bake a batch of brownies and let them cool completely.
- While the brownies cool, prepare the edible chocolate chip cookie dough by mixing ingredients like butter, brown sugar, vanilla, heat-treated flour, and mini chocolate chips.
- Roll the cookie dough into small balls and place them on a lined baking sheet. Chill them in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
- Cut the cooled brownies into small squares.
- Flatten a brownie square and wrap it around a cookie dough ball, fully covering the ball.
- Repeat with all the cookie dough balls.
- Melt the chocolate chips with a little coconut oil or shortening until smooth.
- Dip each brownie-covered ball into the melted chocolate and place it back on the baking sheet.
- Let the chocolate set by placing the bombs in the fridge.
- Once set, they are ready to enjoy!
Servings and timing
This recipe typically makes about 24 brownie bombs. Preparation time is around 30 minutes (plus cooling and chilling time), and total time including baking and setting is approximately 2 hours.
Variations
Sometimes I like to mix things up by using different types of cookie dough, like peanut butter or funfetti-flavored dough. I also sometimes drizzle white chocolate over the bombs for a decorative touch. For a crunchier shell, I might sprinkle crushed nuts or sprinkles onto the chocolate before it hardens.
Storage/reheating
I store these Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. If I want to keep them longer, I freeze them for up to 2 months. I let them thaw in the fridge before serving. They don’t really need reheating since they are meant to be enjoyed cold or at room temperature.
FAQs
How do I make sure the brownie doesn’t crack when wrapping the cookie dough?
I make sure the brownies are soft and slightly fudgy. If they seem a bit dry, I warm them slightly in the microwave to make wrapping easier.
Can I use store-bought brownies and cookie dough?
Absolutely. I sometimes use store-bought brownies and edible cookie dough when I’m short on time.
How do I thin out the melted chocolate for dipping?
I add a teaspoon or two of coconut oil or shortening to the melted chocolate to make it smoother and easier to dip.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, I often make them a day or two ahead of a party. They actually taste even better after chilling for a bit.
What type of chocolate works best for the coating?
I like using high-quality semi-sweet chocolate chips, but milk chocolate and dark chocolate work wonderfully too, depending on the flavor I want.
Conclusion
