How to Make Black Forest Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs
Step 1: Bake the Brownies
Prepare the brownies according to the box instructions. Once baked, allow them to cool completely. Then cut into small squares or crumble slightly for easier forming.
Step 2: Make the Cherry Cookie Dough
In a bowl, beat together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Mix in milk and vanilla. Stir in flour until combined. Fold in chocolate chips and chopped maraschino cherries.
Step 3: Shape the Bombs
Scoop some cookie dough and flatten it. Place a piece of brownie in the center, then wrap the dough around to form a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Step 4: Coat in Chocolate
Melt the semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips until smooth. Dip each cookie dough bomb into the melted chocolate and set on parchment paper. Top with a cherry if desired.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
Refrigerate until the chocolate is set. Serve chilled or at room temperature for best flavor.
Pro Tips for Perfection
- Chill the cookie dough for 15 minutes before shaping to make it easier to work with.
- Use a small ice cream scoop to make evenly sized bombs.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
