These Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bites are the perfect bite-sized treat! They combine the fudgy goodness of brownies with the irresistible flavor of chocolate chip cookie dough. Here’s how to make them:

Ingredients:

  • For the Brownies:
    • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour  
  • For the Cookie Dough:
    • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour, heat-treated*
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Make the Brownies:
    • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.  
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt.
    • Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
    • Gradually add the flour and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
    • Pour the batter into the prepared pan
    • In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
    • Beat in the vanilla extract.  
    • In another bowl, whisk together the heat-treated flour and salt.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
    • Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
  2. Assemble the Brownie Bites:
    • Using a small ice cream scoop or spoon, drop small balls of cookie dough onto the brownie batter. Gently press them down slightly.
    • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
    • Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares or using a round cookie cutter to make bites.  

How to Heat-Treat Flour:

  • To heat-treat flour, spread it in a thin layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. This kills any harmful bacteria. Let the flour cool completely before using.

Tips and Variations:

  • For extra fudgy brownies, underbake them slightly.
  • You can use different types of chocolate chips in the cookie dough, such as milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate chips.
  • Add chopped nuts to the cookie dough for extra flavor and crunch.
  • Drizzle the finished brownie bites with melted chocolate or a sprinkle of sea salt.
  • Store leftover brownie bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Enjoy these delicious and indulgent Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bites! They’re a perfect treat for any occasion.
