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
Topping
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Prepare Brownies: Preheat your oven according to the brownie mix package instructions. Prepare the brownie batter as directed on the box. Grease muffin tins and fill each cup about halfway with the brownie batter. Bake according to the package instructions until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs. Let them 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. Stir in the all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, and salt until all ingredients are fully combined. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring an even distribution throughout the dough.
- Assemble Cups: Once the brownie cups have cooled, use a spoon to carefully create a small indent in the center of each brownie. Spoon or scoop a generous amount of the cookie dough into these indents, filling each brownie cup.
- Drizzle Caramel: Warm the caramel sauce slightly to make it pourable but not too hot. Using a spoon, drizzle the warm caramel over the filled brownie cookie dough cups, creating a beautiful and delicious topping.
- Serve: Serve the brownie cookie dough cups immediately or chill slightly to set. Enjoy the decadent combination of fudgy brownie, sweet cookie dough, and rich caramel drizzle.
Notes
- Ensure the brownies are completely cooled before filling to prevent the cookie dough from melting.
- You can substitute the caramel sauce with chocolate sauce or peanut butter for variation.
- For a nut-free version, verify all ingredients are nut-free, including the caramel sauce.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- The cookie dough is edible as written but avoid adding eggs to keep it safe for no-bake use.
