Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box, typically eggs, water, and oil)
Cookie Dough
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 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 batter, typically combining the mix with eggs, oil, and water as directed. Once mixed, set the batter aside.
- Make the Cookie Dough: In a separate bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add the all-purpose flour, salt, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Fold in the mini chocolate chips gently to distribute them evenly.
- Form the Bites: Using a tablespoon, scoop out brownie batter and roll it into small balls. Take a tablespoon of the cookie dough and wrap it around each brownie ball, shaping it into a bite-sized treat with the cookie dough on the outside and the brownie in the center.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the brownie bites spaced evenly on the sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are golden brown but the centers remain soft and slightly gooey.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the brownie bites to cool for about 10 minutes on the sheet before serving. This resting time helps them set perfectly.
Notes
- Use mini chocolate chips to ensure they distribute well throughout the dough and don’t overpower the bites.
- Make sure butter is softened for easier creaming with sugars.
- Do not overbake to keep the centers soft and fudgy.
- These bites are best enjoyed within 2 days but can be refrigerated for up to a week.
