Caramel Brookies combine chewy chocolate cookies and white chocolate brownies with a creamy caramel filling!
Settle in guys, today's recipe is a good one!
Quick note before we dive into these bad boys, I just want to say quickly that the situation in the world is strange, scary, confusing, etc but I want this blog/YouTube Channel/Instagram to be source of normalcy and fun. Use baking as a way to pass the time in quarantine, turn on some music and dance in the kitchen while cooking!
I also chose to post today's recipe as there are minimal ingredients as I know people are finding it hard to get their hands on basic ingredients.
If you can't get your hands on melting chocolate, condensed milk, etc there are other 'basic' bakes on my blog that might better suited to you so be sure to check out my other recipes.
These include my Mrs Fields copycat chocolate chip cookies, triple chocolate chip blondies, caramelitas, rich cocoa brownies, paleo apple muffins and flourless brownies in case you were out of flour.
Today's recipe, Caramel Brookies, incorporates my white chocolate brownies recipe, my chocolate cookie recipe and caramel filling recipe, layers them up and creates this beautiful, fudgy, gooey, sweet and decadent treat you will struggle to stick to only one piece!
Brookies traditionally are chocolate chip cookies with a chocolate Brownie. I have broken those rules and crossed a white chocolate brownie with a chocolate cookie.
The world is turned upside down and so I have embraced the uncertainty in this recipe also!
If you want to use a chocolate chip cookie dough instead of the white chocolate brownie to keep these proper 'brookies', you can!
How to make the Caramel Brookies
The recipe is really straight forward.
First you make the chocolate cookie dough recipe which is just like a classic cookie recipe.
Next you make the white chocolate brownie which is a very similar method to the brownie.
Beat the eggs, vanilla and sugar together until fluffy (this ensures a crackly top).
Melt the white chocolate and butter together and mix through the egg mixture.
Finally fold through the flour and that's it! Easy peasy.
Finally you need to make the condensed caramel, which again, is so easy you only need a saucepan and a spatula.
I used a 9"x9" baking pan for these caramel brookies and found the height and caramel to brownie ratio perfect, however if you want these to go further you could always make these in a 7"x11" or maybe even a 9"x13" baking pan. You would bake them fore less time and result in a flatter slice.
