Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 1/4 cups (250g) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (150g) packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 3/4 cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-processed or natural)
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder (optional)
  • 1 1/4 cups (210g) semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus extra for topping
  • 1/4 cup (30g) cocoa powder or powdered sugar (for rolling, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in 20-second bursts until just melted. Let it cool for a minute.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until glossy and smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking again until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder (if using). Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients with a spatula until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips. Reserve a handful to press on top after shaping, if desired.
  6. Use a medium cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons) to portion the dough. Roll gently between your hands into balls. Optionally, roll each ball in cocoa powder or powdered sugar.
  7. Place each brownie bomb at least 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Press a few extra chocolate chips into the tops if desired.
  8. Bake on the center rack for 10-12 minutes. The tops should be crackly but the centers will look just a bit underdone.
  9. Let the brownie bombs cool on the sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For gooey centers, slightly underbake and let cool before moving. Chill dough for 10-15 minutes if too sticky to roll. Use high-quality chocolate chips for best flavor. Easily adaptable for gluten-free or vegan diets with appropriate swaps. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
