- Brown Sugar – Brown sugar helps to sweeten this mixture.

CARAMEL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
A delicious and easy twist on my classic Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe! These cookies are absolutely delicious, combining the rich and chewy caramel bits with the gooey and flavorful chocolate chips in every bite. Your taste buds are in for a treat with these scrumptious little delights!
When I was a kid, we would always go to Whole Foods on the weekend with our mom. While there, she would let us pick out one dessert to take home with us from their little dessert display. One of my favorite desserts that they had was homemade fresh Carmelita cookie bars. First and foremost, if you’ve never had one, it is a MUST & I will be posting one soon. But ever since those days, I have always had a soft spot for the combination of caramel mixed with delicious creamy chocolate.
And while, these are not exactly the same as those bars… they do combine the same flavors in a perfect little cookie – filling my sugar craving and tasting delicious! All while using the contents of my pantry (which is truly the best way to use things up, in my opinion).
These cookies combine that sweet and gooey caramel goodness with the rich and creamy chocolate to create the perfect flavor in every bite. Do you have extra bits of caramel laying around in your pantry? This is the recipe for you! It comes together in an hour or less and is truly a delicious cake and twist on classic chocolate chip cookies.
PSA – You can also definitely use homemade caramel, if you’re a caramel lover. However, today I opted to use store-bought caramel bits to make it extra simple to whip together quickly!

HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE:
The full recipe is below. However, lets walk through the steps to ensure that you get the perfect outcome every single time.
- Prepare the brownie Mix: Before using “raw” brownie mix, it is important to heat treat the mixture to eliminate potential bacteria. To do so, put the brownie mix into a large mixing bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval. Complete these steps on repeat until the mix reaches a temperature of 165℉.
- Once you have heat treated the brownie mix you are ready to bake! Start by creaming the cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
- Gradually add milk to the cream cheese and beat well.
- Once the cream cheese is creamy, slowly beat in the brownie mix and continue mixing until all lumps are gone.
- Next, gently fold in the Cool Whip until fully blended.
- If using mini chocolate chips, Oreos, M&Ms, or other toppings, gently fold them into the dip until evenly distributed. This adds extra texture and bursts of chocolate flavor.
- Transfer the Brownie Batter Dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and the dip to firm up slightly.
- Before serving, you can garnish the dip with additional mini chocolate chips or a dusting of cocoa powder for presentation. Serve with a variety of dippers such as pretzels, graham crackers, fruit slices, or cookies.

RECIPE FAQS
- What makes scones different than normal biscuits or pastries? Biscuits are airy, fluffy and flaky squares (or circles) made without any sugar. They are savory and tender throughout. Scones are dense, crumbly cake-like treats. They contain sugar and other sweet additions (like chocolate chips and dried fruit), because their dough is sturdy enough to handle additions.
- What is the proper texture of scones? In my scone loving opinion, a great scone is hard (read: crispy) on the outside, but tender and flaky when cut open.
- How to properly store scones? Scones keep at room temperature for about 2 days. They lose their crispness on the edges, but they be rewarmed in the oven on 200-degrees F. They can be frozen after baking, too. Simply defrost in the fridge overnight and heat in the toaster oven until warm throughout.
