    Happy Cookie Friday! I don’t want to admit it, but I have to admit it… these Cookie Dough Brownie Balls are “the bomb”! ;) As you might know, I actually try to keep myself and my body away from sugar as much as possible, but honestly – I could not resist. I had to bite in one of these balls… and it was soooo good! ;)

    I think I am quite lucky to have no huge cravings for sweet stuff normally. One year ago that was quite different. When I started to reduce sugar I sometimes had problems staying away from chocolate and stuff like that. This lately I am fine and happy without sweet desserts or snacks… until these Cookie Dough Brownie Balls came into my life. I guess you could call it an “unexpected relapse” ;P

    The flavors of these (really not tiny) balls remind me somehow of “Mozart Kugeln” – a common chocolate-coated candy here in Germany and Austria with marzipan and pistachio filling. Both not present in these brownie balls, but somehow it reminded me of the other sweets. Must be the overload of sugar and chocolate that made my tastebuds go crazy ;) Well… every now and then you can treat yourself to something, right?! So eating one of those balls should be fine. As long as you can say “STOP” afterward, everything is fine ;))

    Anyway. With these delicious Cookie Dough Brownie Balls, I am celebrating 5 years of Cookie Friday! It’s crazy! Exactly 5 years ago today I turned boring old Fridays into Cookie Fridays with these Toblerone Chocolate Cookies. Not the first cookie recipe on this blog but the first Cookie Friday recipe. Since that day I published (almost) every Friday a new cookie recipe. A lot of cookie recipes you might think… and yes – cookie recipes are the biggest category here on my blog now. You could fill several baking books with all those recipes. Maybe I should contact a publisher?! ;)

    Well… let’s celebrate this glorious cookie filled years with another cookie (inspired) recipe – these Cookie Dough Brownie Balls! Let me grab one more and then we can start the party ;P

    Happy “5 Years of Cookie Friday” to me! Off to the next 250 cookie recipes ;P

    Toblerone Chocolate Cookies

    Note: If you are concerned about the raw cookie dough inside the balls – there is no egg involved, so it’s basically safe. You can bake the flour beforehand to be 100% sure nothing will happen. I never had problems using it as it is but better safe than sorry, right?! ;)

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Make a batch of brownies – for example from this recipe (https://wp.me/p5kmJy-611) and measure out the amount you need. Add to a bowl and break into small crumbles. Gradually add the cream cheese and mix in to get a moist dough-like mixture that is not too sticky. The amount of cream cheese depends on how fudgy your brownies are – if they are fudgier you might need only a bit of cream cheese, for brownies that were baked drier you probably need all of the cream cheese. Cover and set aside.

    2. Add the butter, sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a large bowl and mix until light and fluffy. Mix the flour with salt and add to the bowl – mix until just combined. Add the chopped chocolate and fold in. Make about 20 balls and place them in the fridge for about 20-30 minutes to firm up.

    3. Form about 20 balls out of the brownie mixture. Take one of the brownie balls and flatten it in the palm of your hand. Place one of the cookie dough balls on top and wrap the brownie mixture around that ball to create a bigger ball with the cookie dough enclosed. Place on a board or small baking sheet and repeat with the remaining balls. Place in the fridge for about 30 minutes.

    4. Melt the chocolate glaze in a heatproof bowl in the microwave or over a pot with simmering water. Add the coconut oil and mix it in to thin out the chocolate – that makes it easier to work with. Dip the balls into the chocolate to cover completely, remove excess chocolate and place on a wire rack or a large piece of baking parchment. Continue until all balls are coated. Before the chocolate starts to set sprinkle the brownie balls with chopped chocolate. Place in the fridge to cool down and firm up completely before serving. Store in a cool place.

    1. Eine Ladung Brownies backen – z.B. von diesem Rezept – und die Menge abwiegen, die benötigt wird. In eine Schüssel geben und zerbröseln. Nach und nach Frischkäse dazugeben und unterrühren, bis die Masse in etwa die Textur von einem feuchten Teig hat – sollte aber nicht klebrig sein oder matschig. Die Frischkäsemenge hängt hier von den Brownies ab – wenn ihr sie “fudgy” gebacken habt, braucht es weniger, wenn die Brownies trockener sind, braucht ihr mehr Frischkäse, bis die Textur stimmt. Abdecken und zur Seite stellen.

    2. Butter, Zucker, Milch und Vanille Extrakt in eine große Schüssel geben und hell und luftig aufschlagen. Mehl mit Salz vermischen und zur Schüssel dazugeben – nur so lange rühren, bis sich alles gerade mal so verbunden hat. Die gehackte Schokolade dazugeben und unterheben. Den Teig in etwa 20 Kugeln formen und dann für 20-30 Minuten in den Kühlschrank legen, damit sie etwas fester werden.

    3. Aus dem Brownie Mix ebenfalls etwa 20 Kugeln formen. Jeweils eine der Brownie Kugel in die Hand nehmen, in der Handfläche plattdrücken und dann einen Cookie Dough Ball darauf setzen – mit dem Brownie Mix umhüllen und damit eine neue Kugel formen. Die Bälle dann auf ein Brett oder kleines Backblech setzen und noch einmal für etwa 30 Minuten in den Kühlschrank stellen.

    4. Die Kuvertüre in einer hitzebeständigen Schüssel in der Mikrowelle oder über einem Topf mit köchelndem Wasser schmelzen. Kokosöl dazugeben und unterrühren – die Schokolade sollte dadurch einfacher zu verarbeiten sein. Die Bälle nacheinander komplett in die Schokolade tauchen, überschüssige Schokolade abstreifen und dann auf ein Gitter oder Stück Backpapier setzen. Bevor die Schokolade fest wird, die Bälle mit gehackter Schokolade bestreuen. In den Kühlschrank stellen und bis zum Servieren trocknen/fest werden lassen. An einem Kühlen Ort lagern.
