Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or spray with cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter and 1 cup sugar until smooth. Add in eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla; whisk until glossy.
  3. Fold in cocoa powder, 1/2 cup flour, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix just until combined; the batter should look thick and shiny.
  4. Spoon batter into the tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full to create domes.
Baking
  1. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  2. Cool the brownie bites completely in the tin for about 20 minutes before transferring to a rack.
Making the Cookie Dough
  1. In a bowl, beat 1/2 cup softened butter with 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 brown sugar until light.
  2. Add milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla, then mix.
  3. Gradually add 1 cup flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt; beat until smooth. Fold in 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips.
  4. The dough should feel soft but hold shape.
Assembly
  1. Once the brownies cool, scoop small cookie dough balls and press each onto a brownie top, ensuring they stick.
  2. Chill the bites for at least 30 minutes to set the dough.
