Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Fudgy Rolo Brownie Cookies

[heart_this] · Aug 19, 2013 · 39 Comments

Fudgy Rolo Brownie Cookies

Chocolate and caramel fudgy brownie cookies stuffed with rolos and caramels.

This weekend I visited a friend that is totally into the chocolate and caramel combo, especially rolos, and it was the perfect excuse to bake something chocolaty and caramel-y! After going through my Recipes to Try pinboard and my bookmarks I decided that these decadently delicious sounding caramel rolo fudge brownie cookies from Roxana’s Home Baking were definitely the way to go. I mean you really cannot go wrong with brownies, fudge, chocolate, caramel and rolos and combining them all together could only be insanely good! These rolo brownie cookies are really easy to make and the only real catch is that the cookie ‘dough’ is more of a brownie ‘batter’ so you need to chill it until you can work with it.
If you are a fan of brownies, chocolate and caramel then you have to try these cookies! I certainly enjoy them a lot, ok, ok, maybe a little too much! Only half of the cookies went missing in action while I photographed them! Yes, my poor friend only got half a batch, but that just means that I will have to make things up by making another batch soon!
Tip: Throw these cookies into the microwave for 8 or so seconds to just melt the large chunks of caramel before devouring them.

Just look at all of that melted caramel-y goodness!

The caramel literally exploded out of this cookie nearly taking a huge chunk of the cookie with it!

Prep Time: 10 minutes Chill Time: 1 hour Cook Time: 15 minutes Total Time: 1 hour 25 minutes Servings: 12

Chocolate and caramel fudgy brownie cookies stuffed with rolos and caramels.

ingredients
  • 8 ounces chocolate chips
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 cup chopped rolos and caramels
directions
  1. Place the chocolate chips and butter in a microwave safe bowl, heat them on high until melted in 30 second intervals and mix until smooth. (You can also melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pot of simmering water, aka a double boiler.)
  2. Beat the eggs and sugar until the mixture starts to turn pale.
  3. Slowly pour in the melted chocolate while mixing. (For those of us that are space impaired and do not have a mixer, mix a tablespoon of the chocolate into the eggs followed by two tablespoons and finally the remaining chocolate. This is known as tempering and it slowly brings the eggs up to the temperature of the chocolate so that they do not cook when you mix in the rest of the chocolate.)
  4. Mix in the vanilla extract followed by the mixture of the flour, baking powder and salt.
  5. Fold in the rolos and caramels.
  6. Chill in the fridge or freezer until solid enough to work with.
  7. Spoon balls of the ‘dough’ onto a pair of parchment or silicon lined baking sheets.
  8. Bake in a pre-heated 350F/180C oven for 11 minutes, remove and let cool for 10 minutes before transferring to racks to cool completely.

    Would Hershey's caramel kisses work as a Rolo substitute, or is the center on those too liquid?

    New law of the universe: all cookies must contain rolos. Sea salt or some truffle salt would be such a perfect finishing touch!

    After following your blog and others like it for so long, I finally decided to start my own, http://adventurefaceliz.wordpress.com. I'd really appreciate if you checked it out!

    Hi,

    These look amazing but, i have a quick question – do you recommend any other way of heating the cookies before serving besides in the microwave?

    Any tips would be much appreciated!

    John Diogenous: You could put them in the oven for a few minutes.

    Kevin: I tried the oven and they became "over cooked" – if that's the right terminology. I decided to try steaming them and they fell apart! Haha. So, I think i will just stick to the microwave. Thanks again for the great recipe Kevin!

      You have the best recipes Kevin!! It is always a treat to see what you have for us next. Just one quick question about these mouth watering cookies.
      Can these be baked ahead of a party, Christmas etc and frozen either before scooping into balls and baking or after baking and cooling?
      Thanks

        Thanks! I’m glad that you have been enjoying my recipes! You can freeze these cookies raw in balls, thaw and bake on demand or you can freeze the baked cookies!
