Decadent Black Forest Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs

An indulgent dessert combining rich brownies with creamy cookie dough and vibrant cherries, inspired by the classic Black Forest flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated for safety)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • For Cookie Dough Filling:
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • For Assembly:
  • 1 cup pitted cherries, chopped
  • Whipped cream or frosting for topping
  • Optional: cherry liqueur or maraschino cherry juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Heat-treat the flour by baking it on a sheet for 5 minutes at 350°F to make it safe for raw consumption.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt for the brownie batter.
  3. In another bowl, mix melted butter and sugar until combined. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla extract.
  4. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
  5. Spread brownie batter evenly in a greased 8×8 inch baking pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
  6. Meanwhile, prepare cookie dough filling: Cream together softened butter and brown sugar. Add heat-treated flour, milk, and vanilla extract; mix until smooth. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
  7. Once the brownie is cooled, scoop 1 tablespoon portions of cookie dough and roll into balls.
  8. Cut cooled brownie into square pieces. Place one brownie piece, top with a cookie dough ball and some chopped cherries, then cover with another brownie piece forming a sandwich ‘bomb.’
  9. Optionally drizzle cherry liqueur or maraschino cherry juice over each assembled brownie bomb and top with whipped cream or frosting.
  10. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes before serving for best texture and flavor.

Notes

1. Heat-treatment of flour is essential to avoid risk from raw flour consumption.
2. Use fresh or frozen cherries, pitted and chopped for authentic Black Forest taste.
3. Refrigeration helps the cookie dough set well inside the brownie bombs.
