Ingredients

  • 1 cup Flour
  • 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/3 cup Granulated Sugar
  • ½ cup Butter (room temp)
  • 1 Egg (room temp)
  • ½ cup Chocolate Chip Morsels
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Baking Soda
  • ½ tsp Baking Powder
  • 12 Nestle's Toll House Bite Size Filled Baking Truffles-Chocolate Caramel Dulce De Leche

Ingredients

  1. In a mixing bowl cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
  2. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mix thoroughly.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
  4. Dump the dry mixture into the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
  5. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  6. Cover the mixing bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes so that the dough is easier to handle.
  7. Scoop out a small portion of the cookie dough and roll it into a ball and then flatten it on the palm of your hands. Place a small caramel candy in the center. Then, roll the dough into a ball and place it on a cookie tray lined with parchment paper. To prevent the dough from getting warm and sticking to your hands, you can wear plastic gloves.
  8. Place this tray in the freezer for 5-10 minutes. Do not skip this step or else your cookies will spread while baking.
  9. Remove the trays from the freezer and bake at 350 degrees for about 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown and firm along the edges.
  10. I like to place a few chocolate chip morsels on top of the cookies and press them down slightly while the cookie is still hot. This makes your cookies a little prettier and who doesn’t like more chocolate chips!
  11. Let the cookies cool down to room temperature on a wire cooling tray and then dig in!

Brownie Cookies

These cookies are so chocolatey → soft → chewy → super fudgy → gooey on the inside, with a crispy/crunchy outer shell. A pan of traditional brownies has varying textures. You have slightly crisp and chewy edge brownies with softer, fudgier brownies in the center. When you bake brownies as cookies, you get both in 1!

Fudgy Candy Bar Brownies

These rich gooey brownies are the ultimate candy bar lover's indulgence. I love brownies.  L-O-V-E.  If I’m in the mood for a sweet treat – a.k.a. everyday – and I don’t have anything specific in mind, you can bet a pan of brownies is in my future.  I always start with my original brownie recipe and then see where things take me, adding Snickers Candy Bars works out deliciously! After baking and cooling, try freezing for 10 minutes for easy slicing.

The bottom layer, a fudgy chocolate brownie, is spread thickly with melted peanut butter, then chilled.
