Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough Base:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Caramel Layer:
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate Topping:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Blend softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a medium bowl until creamy and uniform in texture.
- Incorporate flour and salt into the butter mixture, then gently fold in mini chocolate chips and vanilla extract until evenly distributed.
- Transfer the cookie dough mixture into a lined 8×8-inch baking pan, pressing firmly and creating an even, compact base layer.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter completely, then introduce brown sugar, corn syrup, and heavy cream while continuously stirring.
- Allow the caramel mixture to reach a rolling boil, maintaining constant stirring for 2-3 minutes until it thickens and develops a rich golden color.
- Remove caramel from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and carefully pour over the cookie dough layer, ensuring complete and smooth coverage.
- Create chocolate topping by combining chocolate chips and heavy cream in a heatproof bowl, microwaving in 30-second intervals and stirring between each session until achieving a glossy, smooth consistency.
- Gently pour the melted chocolate over the caramel layer, using a spatula to spread evenly and create a flawless top surface.
- Chill the assembled bars in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours, allowing all layers to set completely and firm up.
- Once fully set, slice into neat squares and serve these luxurious billionaire bars chilled.
Notes
- Refrigerate cookie dough for 15-20 minutes to make it easier to press evenly into the pan and prevent sticking.
- Use room temperature butter for smoother creaming and better texture in the cookie dough base.
- Stir constantly while boiling caramel and use a candy thermometer to ensure perfect consistency without scorching.
- Substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blend for those with wheat sensitivities, ensuring the same delicious texture.
