Ingredients
Brownie Batter
- 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
Cookie Dough
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Brownie Mix: Follow the instructions on the brownie mix box to prepare the brownie batter according to package directions. Set the batter aside once ready.
- Make the Cookie Dough: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add the all-purpose flour, salt, and vanilla extract, then mix until well combined. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips for added texture and sweetness.
- Form the Bites: Using a tablespoon measure, scoop out a portion of brownie batter and roll it into a small ball. Next, scoop a tablespoon of the cookie dough and carefully roll it around the brownie ball, fully encasing it to form a bite-sized treat.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Arrange the brownie bites on the baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown but the centers remain soft and gooey.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the brownie bites to cool on it for about 10 minutes. This resting time helps them set slightly and makes them easier to handle before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the flour used in the cookie dough is heat-treated or safe for raw consumption if planning to eat uncooked dough.
- Do not overbake to maintain a gooey center; start checking at 10 minutes.
- Store leftover bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for extended freshness.
- Feel free to substitute mini chocolate chips with your favorite mix-ins such as nuts or white chocolate chips.
