Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin tin.
- In a medium bowl, combine melted butter and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth and glossy.
- Add cocoa powder and salt. Whisk until evenly incorporated.
- Stir in vanilla extract.
- Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually add flour, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- In a separate medium bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Stir in vanilla extract and salt.
- Gradually add flour, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Add milk and mix until the dough comes together.
- Stir in mini chocolate chips.
- Spoon brownie batter into each mini muffin cup, filling them about halfway.
- Roll cookie dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Flatten each ball slightly and place it on top of the brownie batter in each muffin cup.
- Gently press the cookie dough into the brownie batter.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookie dough is golden brown and the brownie layer is set.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Don’t Overbake: Overbaking is the enemy of fudgy brownies. Keep a close eye on them and remove them from the oven when they are just set. They will continue to cook as they cool.
- Use Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the flavor of your brownie bites. Use good quality butter, cocoa powder, and chocolate chips for the best results.
- Softened Butter is Key: Make sure your butter is properly softened before creaming it with the sugar for the cookie dough. This will ensure that the dough is light and fluffy.
- Chill the Cookie Dough (Optional): If you have time, chilling the cookie dough for 30 minutes before assembling the brownie bites can help prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Variations: Feel free to get creative with your brownie bites! You can add nuts, sprinkles, or other toppings to the cookie dough. You can also use different types of chocolate chips, such as white chocolate or peanut butter chips.
- Storage: Store the brownie bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage.
