These decadent chocolate chip cookie dough brownie bites combine a chewy, fudgy brownie base with a creamy, slightly gritty cookie dough center for a perfect sweet treat that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (110g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (95g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • ⅓ cup (35g) unsweetened cocoa powder, natural or Dutch-processed
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (90g) chocolate chips, semi-sweet or milk chocolate
  • ¼ cup (56g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ⅓ cup (70g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tbsp (25g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) milk, whole or 2%
  • ⅓ cup (40g) all-purpose flour, heat-treated
  • Pinch of salt
  • ¼ cup (45g) mini chocolate chips
  • Flaky sea salt, a light sprinkle (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9 inch (23×23 cm) pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until combined and smooth, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until the mixture is glossy.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a spatula just until no flour streaks remain. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the ½ cup chocolate chips evenly.
  7. In another bowl, cream the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  8. Stir in vanilla extract and milk until smooth.
  9. Add the heat-treated flour and a pinch of salt, mixing until just combined. The dough will be thick but soft.
  10. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  11. Spread half of the brownie batter evenly in the prepared pan.
  12. Drop spoonfuls (about a teaspoon each) of the cookie dough filling evenly over the brownie batter, gently pressing them down but keeping them distinct.
  13. Spoon the remaining brownie batter over the cookie dough in dollops. Use a spatula to gently spread and cover the cookie dough without mixing the layers.
  14. Bake for 22-25 minutes until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft. A toothpick inserted near the edge should come out with moist crumbs.
  15. Cool completely on a wire rack. Lift the brownies out using the parchment overhang and cut into 1.5-inch bite-sized squares.
  16. Optionally, sprinkle flaky sea salt over the top for a subtle contrast.

Notes

Heat-treat the flour for the cookie dough filling by baking it at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to ensure safety. Avoid overmixing the brownie batter to keep it fudgy. Chill cookie dough filling for 10 minutes if it spreads too much during baking. Let brownies cool completely before cutting to prevent the cookie dough layer from smearing. Use flaky sea salt on top to balance sweetness.
