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.
