Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bites

Ingredients:

For the brownie base:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

For the cookie dough:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips

For the chocolate topping:

• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable oil
• Extra chocolate chips for garnish

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing well.
3. Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder, then gently fold everything together until just combined.
4. Spoon the brownie batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
5. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Let them cool completely before removing from the pan.
6. While the brownies cool, prepare the cookie dough. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until fluffy.
7. Add milk and vanilla, then mix in the flour until well combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
8. Once the brownie bites are cool, scoop small portions of cookie dough and press them gently on top of each brownie.
9. Melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cookie dough and top with extra chocolate chips.
10. Allow the chocolate to set before serving. Enjoy!
