Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (310g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon green gel food coloring
  • 1 ½ cups (270g) mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar using a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. The batter might look curdled; this is normal.
  5. Mix in vanilla extract and green gel food coloring until color is evenly distributed.
  6. With mixer on low speed, add dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with buttermilk, starting and ending with dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.
  7. Gently fold in mini semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula.
  8. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Yield is about 24 bombs.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until edges are set but centers look slightly soft.
  10. Let bombs rest on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

If bombs spread too much, chill dough for 30 minutes before baking. Avoid opening oven door frequently to maintain temperature. Use room temperature eggs for best results. Mini chocolate chips melt more evenly. For gluten-free, use gluten-free flour blend with xanthan gum. For vegan, use dairy-free butter, flax eggs, and almond milk with vinegar as buttermilk substitute.
