This Now, Make It Later!

For the Brownie Layer

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1¼ cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup heat-treated all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips
  • Pinch of salt

Tools Needed

Substitutions & Additions

  • Use dark chocolate chips for intensity
  • Add espresso powder to brownie batter
  • Roll dough in cocoa powder for contrast
  • Drizzle with melted chocolate after baking

In a bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Mix in vanilla, milk, and salt. Stir in heat-treated flour, then fold in chocolate chips. Scoop small balls and freeze for 20–30 minutes until firm.

Step 2: Prepare the Brownie Batter

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until glossy. Add eggs and vanilla, whisking until smooth.

Step 3: Add Dry Ingredients

Stir in flour, cocoa powder, and salt just until combined. Do not overmix — the batter should be thick and fudgy.

Step 4: Assemble the Bombs

Line a muffin tin. Add a spoonful of brownie batter, place a frozen cookie dough ball in the center, then cover completely with more brownie batter.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the tops are set but centers remain soft.

Step 6: Cool

Let brownie bombs cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
