When Brownies and Cookies Collide: Brownie Bombs

Brownies, let’s face it, are the sh*t. They satisfy the most severe PMS cravings, they comfort the most heartbreaking breakups, and they give you a sense of ooey gooey comfort. That said, who’s to say that the brownie doesn’t deserve the occasional update? I mean, with cookie technology continuing to increase, the brownie absolutely has to respond, or it faces becoming obsolete (Oh. The. Horror.)

The solution? The same delicious, chocolaty goodness in portable cookie form: BROWNIE BOMBS.

What You’ll Need:

10 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

3 eggs

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup All Purpose Flour

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt
