I remember making these with my granddaughter on a rainy afternoon. We laughed, we made a mess, and we created something delicious together. These brownie bites are a perfect blend of fudgy brownies and creamy cookie dough – no oven drama, just joy in every bite! Make them for your family or share with a friend who needs a sweet moment.
For the Brownie Base:
1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder
For the Cookie Dough Layer (egg-free):
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated*)
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Make the Brownie Base: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix melted butter, sugar, and eggs until smooth. Stir in cocoa, flour, salt, and baking powder. Pour into a greased mini muffin pan. Bake for 12–15 minutes. Cool completely.
Make the Cookie Dough: Cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add milk and vanilla. Slowly mix in flour, then fold in chocolate chips.
Assemble: Once brownie bases are cool, top each with a spoonful of cookie dough. Chill for 30 minutes for best texture.
To heat-treat flour, microwave it for 1 minute or bake at 300°F (150°C) for 5 minutes to kill any bacteria.
You can freeze them for up to 2 months – just thaw before serving.
