Tips & Variations

- Try adding a pinch of salt to the cookie dough for a balanced sweet and salty flavor.
- Swap semi-sweet chocolate chips for dark or milk chocolate chips to change the flavor profile.

FAQs
Can I use homemade brownie batter instead of a mix?
Absolutely! Homemade brownie batter works just as well and allows you to customize the flavor and texture to your liking.
Is the cookie dough safe to eat raw inside the brownies?
Yes, since the cookie dough does not contain raw eggs and is baked inside the brownie, it’s safe to eat. Just make sure to fully bake the brownie bombs before eating.

Ingredients
Brownie Batter
- Brownie mix – 1 package (about 18 oz)
- Eggs – 2 large
- Vegetable oil – 1/3 cup
Cookie Dough
- All-purpose flour – 1/2 cup
- Light brown sugar – 1/4 cup, packed
- Granulated sugar – 2 tablespoons
- Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips – 1/2 cup (divided: 1/4 cup for dough, 1/4 cup for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line or grease a baking pan to prepare for baking the brownie bombs.
- Prepare Brownie Batter: In a medium bowl, combine the brownie mix with eggs and vegetable oil according to the package instructions. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
- Make Cookie Dough: In another bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and half of the semi-sweet chocolate chips (1/4 cup) until the mixture resembles a thick cookie dough.
- Assemble Bombs: Scoop out portions of brownie batter and flatten slightly. Place a small ball of cookie dough in the center and carefully wrap the brownie batter around it, sealing to form a ball. Repeat until all batter and dough are used.
- Arrange and Bake: Place the formed brownie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Optionally, sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips on top for extra chocolatey goodness. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges look set but the center remains soft.
- Cool: Remove from oven and transfer the brownie bombs to a wire rack. Allow them to cool completely before serving to let the centers set perfectly.
Notes
- Ensure the cookie dough is firm enough to shape; if too sticky, chill for 15 minutes before forming balls.
- Use room temperature eggs and vegetable oil for a smoother brownie batter.
- Adjust baking time slightly depending on your oven to avoid overbaking—the centers should stay gooey.
- Store leftover brownie bombs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
