Ingredients

Scale

For the Brownies:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated 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
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated to make it safe for eating raw)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

For the Cupcake Batter:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

  • Make the Brownie Bites:
    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin. In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until well combined.
    Pour the brownie batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 1/3 full.
    Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the brownie tops are set but still soft in the center. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool.
  • Make the Cookie Dough:
    In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
    Mix in the vanilla extract and milk. Add the flour and salt, stirring until combined.
    Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
    Once the brownie bites have cooled, take a small portion of the cookie dough and wrap it around each brownie bite, forming a ball. Set aside.
  • Make the Cupcake Batter:
    In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  • Assemble the Cupcakes:
    Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
    Fill each liner halfway with the cupcake batter. Place one of the cookie dough-covered brownie bites into the center of each cup.
    Cover the brownie bite with more cupcake batter, filling the cups about 2/3 full.
  • Bake the Cupcakes:
    Bake the cupcakes for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the cupcake (not the center) comes out clean.
    Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Optional Topping:
    Frost with your favorite buttercream or chocolate ganache, and top with extra mini chocolate chips or brownie crumbles for added flair!
  • Serve and Enjoy:
    Enjoy your indulgent Brownie Stuffed Cookie Dough Cupcakes—the perfect combination of brownies, cookie dough, and cupcakes all in one!

Notes

  • If you prefer, you can use store-bought brownie mix for the brownie bites to save time.
  • Be sure to heat-treat the flour before using it for the cookie dough to make it safe for raw consumption.
  • These cupcakes are even more decadent when topped with frosting or ganache!
