Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Brownie Mix
Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the brownie mix package. Prepare the brownie batter by following the package directions. This usually involves mixing the brownie mix with eggs, water, and oil.
Step 2: Bake the Brownies
Pour the prepared brownie batter into a greased baking pan and bake for the time specified on the package. Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
Step 3: Prepare the Cookie Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, brown sugar, butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients are well combined. Then, fold in the chocolate chips.
Step 4: Form Cookie Dough Balls
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the cookie dough and roll them into balls. Place the cookie dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze the cookie dough balls for about 30 minutes.
Step 5: Combine Brownies and Cookie Dough
Once the brownies are cool and the cookie dough balls are frozen, remove the brownies from the pan. Cut the brownies into squares. Take each brownie square and press a frozen cookie dough ball into the center. Reform the brownie around the ball to enclose the cookie dough completely.
Step 6: Bake the Brownie Bombs
Place the stuffed brownie bombs onto a baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the brownies are set.
Step 7: Cool and Serve
Allow the brownie bombs to cool on a wire rack. Once cooled, they are ready to serve and enjoy!
