Ingredients
-
½ cup brown sugar, packed
-
¼ cup granulated sugar
-
½ cup unsalted butter, softened (1 stick)
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
¾ cup all-purpose flour, heat-treated
-
⅓ cup cocoa powder
-
½ cup mini chocolate chips
-
8 oz German sweet chocolate, chopped (for dipping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Spread flour evenly on a baking sheet.
Bake for 5 minutes, then let cool completely before using.
Beat brown sugar, white sugar, and softened butter together until creamy.
Mix in the vanilla extract.
Add cooled flour + cocoa powder and blend until the dough forms a soft ball.
Fold in mini chocolate chips using a spatula.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm up.
Melt German chocolate in a double boiler
—or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring often.
Dip each chilled brownie bite into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
Return to the baking sheet.
Allow the chocolate to set — refrigerate briefly to speed it up.
Enjoy once firm!
Notes
-
Cool flour fully before mixing — warm flour melts butter!
-
Add 1–2 tablespoons of milk if dough seems too dry to roll.
-
Top with sprinkles, sea salt, or white chocolate drizzle for a fun finish.
