These Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs are a decadent fusion of two of the most iconic American treats: chocolate chip cookie dough and rich, fudgy brownies.

I first stumbled upon this idea during a weekend baking spree. I had leftover cookie dough in the fridge and a pan of brownies cooling on the counter. Curiosity—and a serious craving—led to the most delightful dessert experiment ever. The result? A sweet, chewy, chocolate-covered bite that’s crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. It’s been a hit ever since.
