How to Make Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs
Whip up your favorite brownie mix and bake in a rectangular pan. Let the brownies cool down completely until they’re no longer warm to the touch.
Mix soft butter with sugars until creamy. Add milk and vanilla for extra flavor. Blend in flour and fold in tiny chocolate morsels. Roll the dough into small round balls and chill them in the refrigerator.
Cut cooled brownies into squares slightly larger than your cookie dough balls. Gently wrap each chilled dough ball inside a brownie square, creating smooth chocolate-covered spheres. Press edges together carefully to seal completely.
Melt chocolate chips in the microwave until silky smooth. Dunk each brownie-wrapped ball into the liquid chocolate, ensuring full coverage. Tap off excess chocolate and place on a parchment-lined tray. Sprinkle with extra chocolate chips for a gorgeous finish. Allow chocolate to harden at room temperature.
Refrigerate your bombs for about 15 minutes to set the chocolate coating. Store in an airtight container and enjoy within a few days for maximum deliciousness.

FAQs
The recipe uses heat-treated flour, which is baked or microwaved to kill potential bacteria, making it safe for consumption. Always ensure you follow proper flour preparation techniques.
Absolutely! Homemade brownies work perfectly. Just ensure they are cooled completely and have a similar consistency to boxed mix brownies for easier wrapping.
Freeze the assembled brownie bombs for at least 15 minutes before chocolate coating. This helps seal the cookie dough inside and prevents potential leakage during dipping.
Add a small amount of vegetable oil or coconut oil to the melted chocolate. This helps thin the coating and creates a smoother, easier-to-apply chocolate shell.

- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil (optional, for smoother coating)
- Eggs (as specified on brownie mix package)

Instructions
- Brownie Preparation: Combine brownie mix according to package instructions, spreading evenly in a parchment-lined pan. Bake until set, then cool completely at room temperature.
- Cookie Dough Creation: Cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Mix in milk and vanilla until smooth. Incorporate flour and salt, folding gently to create a consistent dough. Fold in mini chocolate chips throughout the mixture.
- Dough Shaping and Brownie Cutting: Form cookie dough into small spheres and chill on parchment paper. Cut cooled brownies into squares slightly larger than the dough balls.
- Assembly and Wrapping: Encase each chilled cookie dough ball within a brownie square, carefully sealing edges. Roll gently to create smooth, uniform orbs.
- Freezing and Chocolate Coating: Briefly freeze assembled bombs to stabilize. Melt chocolate in the microwave, stirring frequently to achieve a smooth consistency. Completely submerge each bomb in melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- Finishing Touches: Place chocolate-covered bombs on parchment paper. Optionally sprinkle with additional chocolate chips or decorative elements before chocolate sets. Allow to solidify at room temperature or expedite by refrigerating.
Notes
- Chill Cookie Dough: Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes before forming balls to prevent sticking and maintain shape, ensuring easier handling and cleaner spheres.
- Prevent Brownie Cracking: Cool brownies completely at room temperature to avoid structural breaks when wrapping cookie dough, which helps maintain smooth bomb exteriors.
- Smooth Chocolate Coating: Temper chocolate at 50-55°F for glossy, crack-free coverage, using a deep bowl for easier dipping and complete immersion of brownie bombs.
- Dietary Adaptations: Substitute gluten-free flour blend for traditional flour, use dairy-free chocolate and margarine for vegan version, allowing broader dietary accessibility without compromising delectable taste and texture.
