Ingredients
Scale
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 box to make the brownie batter. Once prepared, set it aside for use in forming the bites.
- Make the Cookie Dough: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add the all-purpose flour, salt, and vanilla extract, stirring until everything is well combined. Fold in the mini chocolate chips ensuring even distribution.
- Form the Bites: Using a tablespoon measure, scoop out a portion of brownie batter and gently roll it into a small ball. Then, take a tablespoon of the cookie dough and carefully roll it around the brownie ball, fully encasing it to form a compact bite.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Place the fully formed brownie bites on the sheet, spacing them adequately to allow slight expansion. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown while the centers remain soft and chewy.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the brownie bites cool on it for about 10 minutes. This cooling step helps the bites set properly before serving. Enjoy them slightly warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened for easy creaming in the cookie dough step.
- Do not overbake to keep the centers soft and chewy.
- You can substitute mini chocolate chips with regular size chips, but mini chips distribute more evenly.
- Store leftover bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon to the cookie dough.
