For the Cookie Dough
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (90g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
For the Brownie Batter
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
- 1/3 cup (35g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Prepare the Cookie Dough: Start by creaming the softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and egg, mixing until smooth. Gradually stir in the flour and salt until a soft dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips, then chill the dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up.
- Make the Brownie Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined. Gradually add the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, stirring until a thick, fudgy batter forms.
- Assemble the Bites: Spoon a layer of brownie batter into mini muffin tins to cover the bottom. Place a small ball of chilled cookie dough in the center of each, then cover with additional brownie batter, fully encasing the cookie dough.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until the edges are set but the centers remain soft and slightly gooey, approximately 15–18 minutes.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the brownie bites cool slightly in the tin before removing them to help maintain their shape. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best gooey experience.
Notes
- Chill your cookie dough to prevent spreading and make it easier to handle.
- Use mini muffin tins for perfect bite-sized portions and even baking.
- Avoid overbaking to keep centers gooey and soft.
- Use room temperature eggs and butter for smoother batter and dough consistency.
- Try dark chocolate chips for a richer contrast with the dough and brownie.
