Caramel chocolate fudge brownie cookies

Caramel chocolate fudge brownie cookies – rich chocolate-y cookies loaded with chopped mini rolos and gooey caramels

Ever since we started the Chocolate Party in September I’ve been day dreaming about upcoming treats. It’s a hard decision what secret ingredient to choose each month. There are LOTS of irresistible chocolate combos. In my head I have everything planned for the next 5 years. Yes, that’s a lots of chocolate and hundreds of recipes coming your way.

This month we decided upon ooey, gooey caramel. Salted or not, store-bought caramel or made from scratch in your kitchen or as Mexican call it “dulce de leche”  it’s the star to this month chocolate party.

Chocolate party is a monthly event hosted by me together with some wonderful bloggers. Each month we pick an ingredient and pair it with chocolate. We blog about it by the end of the month.

I hope you’ll join our party and bake along with us. Also, if you’d like to know what are we up to and what ingredients we pick for the next parties, join our Facebook group.

All submitted posts will be pinned to the Chocolate party Pinterest board and will be promoted on other social media platform using the #chocolateparty hashtag.

How to participate (the rules)

1.) Blog about your chocolate treat. Your recipe must include the two ingredients we choose. It can be a simple no bake treat or a sophisticated layer cake, the complexity level of the recipe is totally up to you.

2.) Include a link back to this post or the Chocolate party page.  Optional, add the Chocolate Party logo in your blog post or on your sidebar.

3.) Your recipe must be published during the current month. Please do not link old recipes, they will be deleted.

Caramel loaded fudge brownie cookies from Roxanashomebaking.com Rich chocolate-y cookies loaded with chopped mini rolos and gooey caramels

This month I had a hard time deciding what to make. Actually I had these Chewy Chocolate Caramel Bars saved for today but since I change my mind as the wind blows there was just one thing left to do : make a new chocolate caramel treat. With some leftover caramels and a bag of mini rolos in the pantry I took matter into hands and thought cookies were meant to be shared with you today.

Now if I could have stopped eating them, even while taking the pictures. As some of you probably noticed there are different cookies stacked in my photos, one after another got in my mouth.

Just like other fudge cookies, you start melted chocolate, 8 ounces for these cookies. After you mix the melted chocolate with the eggs and a little flour 1 cup of chopped rolos and caramels are added. You can use just rolos or just caramels if you like. Chocolate chunks or nuts can also be used, but I’ll stick with the gooey caramel for now.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz (224 grams) chocolate chips (I used 60%)
  • 3 tbsp (42 grams) butter
  • 1/2 cup (100 grams) brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (40 grams) all purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 cup chopped rolos and caramels

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 350F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a microwave safe bowl add the chocolate chips and butter and heat until melted (about 1 minutes) stirring to combined and smooth. You can also melt the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water.
  3. In a mixing bowl beat the eggs and sugar until start to thicken and they have a pale color.
  4. With the paddle attachment on, at low-to-medium speed, pour the melted chocolate over the sweetened eggs. It's important to keep mixing while you add the chocolate to prevent the eggs from cooking. Add vanilla extract and mix.
  5. Add the flour, baking powder and salt. Stir until combined.
  6. With a spatula, fold in the chopped rolo candy and caramels.
  7. Chill the dough for 1 hour or until hard enough to handle.
  8. With a small scoop, place balls of cookie dough on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake in preheated oven for about 11 minutes.
  10. Let cool for about 10 minutes on baking sheets before transferring them to cookie racks to cool completely.
  11. Enjoy!

I was at a church meeting and someone brought a chocolate cookie like this, but the center was filled with a York Peppermint Patty. (the big one!) and I ate the whole thing. Very stressful meeting. lol! Thanks for sharing. Linda

          Hi Lynne, Did you chill the dough in the refrigerator until hard enough to handle? A soft cookie dough is one of the reasons the cookies are more likely to spread out.

    Hi roxana, My friend and I tried out these cookies today. But it turned out not like the oozy-caramely photo you put up :P. I wonder what i did wrong? I did as you said in the recipe and btw u forgot to mention the vanilla essence in the cooking process(you only mentioned it in the ingredients). Is there anything that you think we can substitute for the Rolos? Thanks a lot.

    • Roxana says

      March 27, 2013 at 9:59 pm

      Hi Sahana, The pictures were taken while the cookies were still warm. If you wait for them to cool down, it gives the caramel time to harden. They are still chewy and delicious, just not oozing :) As for the rolos, you can use just caramels or add a mixture or caramels and chocolate chunks. Happy baking, Roxana

      Hi Courtney, Yes, it only need 1/3 cup of flour. Since you have to leave the cookie dough in the fridge until hard enough to handle, there's no need to add more flour or you'll end up with a different cookie. The secret to these fudge cookie is to let them rest in the fridge for a while. Skip this step and you'll end up with flat cookies.

    I just wanted to comment on those who found these runny. If you use your paddle attachment to BEAT the eggs and sugar it won't thicken right ( I know, I tried ). You have to use the whisk attachment and beat for several minutes, then change to the paddle attachment to add chocolate. Hope that helps! These cookies were outstanding, gave them to family and friends and everyone loved them! Thanks for an amazing recipe!

      Hi Tina, A hand mixer could be used, just make you sure you beat the eggs and sugar until thickened and pale in color. That usually takes around 5-7 minutes, with a hand mixer probably a little longer.
