1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.
2. Make the Brownie Batter
In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the cocoa powder, flour, and salt, and mix until just combined.
3. Bake the Brownie Bites
Spoon the brownie batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool completely.
4. Prepare the Cookie Dough
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the milk and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until smooth. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
5. Assemble the Bites
Once the brownie bites are completely cool, scoop small portions of the cookie dough and press them onto the top of each brownie bite.
6. Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes to allow the cookie dough to set. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
