Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Base
- 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients required on the box)
Cookie Dough Filling
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Caramel Drizzle
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Prepare brownies: Preheat your oven according to the brownie mix package instructions. Prepare the brownie mix as directed on the box. Grease the muffin tins and pour the brownie batter into them, filling each cup about halfway. Bake according to the package instructions and allow the brownie cups to cool completely before proceeding.
- Make cookie dough: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. Gradually stir in the all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined. Fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
- Assemble cups: Once the brownie cups have cooled, gently use a spoon to create a small indent or well in the center of each brownie cup, careful not to break them. Fill each indent with a generous scoop of the prepared cookie dough.
- Drizzle caramel: Warm the caramel sauce slightly until it becomes pourable but not too hot. Drizzle the warm caramel sauce over the cookie dough-filled brownie cups to add a rich and sticky sweetness.
- Serve: Serve the brownie cookie dough cups immediately to enjoy the contrast of textures and flavors, or refrigerate briefly to firm up the cookie dough for easier handling before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute store-bought caramel sauce with homemade caramel for a deeper flavor.
- Ensure the brownie cups are completely cooled before adding the cookie dough to prevent melting.
- Use heatproof spoons or piping bags to neatly fill the cookie dough into the brownie cups.
- For a nutty twist, consider adding chopped nuts into the cookie dough.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days.
