Salted caramel chocolate chip cookie cobbler is an unforgettable fusion of gooey caramel, melted butter and rich chocolate. It’s a cookie and cobbler combo that results in a sweet and salty caramel dessert recipe that is truly divine.
When combined with a little homemade whipped cream or no-churn vanilla ice cream, the results are absolutely heavenly. This is a decadent caramel filled dessert I want to make over and over again!
Is there anything more delicious than the combination of salted caramel and chocolate? Okay, okay… perhaps my sweet tooth has gotten the best of me lately! Who can blame me? Regardless, I’m in love this salted caramel chocolate cobbler.
If you’re having a craving for a salty and sweet melty, gooey caramel and chocolate dessert, this is the one for you! It’s full of buttery, creamy caramel goodness, combined with a little cookie crunch.
Ingredients
- All-Purpose Flour – No sifting required.
- Baking Soda
- Cornstarch – Cornstarch provides an extra element of creamy, fluffy texture in this cobbler.
- Salt
- Butter – I generally use salted butter but you can use whatever you have on hand!
- White Sugar
- Brown Sugar – Packed. It has a much more complex flavor than white sugar due to the added molasses. It really adds to the caramelized flavor of this cobbler.
- Egg and Egg Yolk
- Vanilla Extract – Store bought or homemade vanilla extract.
- Chocolate Chips – My go to is semi-sweet chocolate, but you can also make this dessert with milk, white or dark chocolate if you prefer.
- Rolos
- Salt – Thick flakes of sea salt from a grinder to sprinkle on top.
Tool to Use
- I use large creme brûlée dishes (6″ x 4″ x 1″ high; 6.7-oz. capacity)
Tips
- Make it Ahead – I like to prep it in the afternoon, refrigerating the dough until dinner is complete and then putting it in the oven for a piping hot decadent dessert.
- Add a Little Extra Brown Sugar – Sprinkle a little extra brown sugar anytime… either before you bake, right when it comes out of the oven, or even on individual servings as you plate.
- This chocolate chip caramel cobbler will take around 12-15 minutes to bake, based on your dish size. Be careful not to over bake the cobbler. It should have a slightly gooey center when it comes out of the oven.

Julie’s Tips
- This caramel dessert recipe, as written, is meant for individual ramekins. However, you can easily use a traditional baking dish, you’ll just need to watch your time. I use large creme brûlée dishes (6″ x 4″ x 1″ high; 6.7-oz. capacity)
- If this recipe is baked in one large pan (not in individual ramekins), you’ll probably need to allow anywhere from 25-35 minutes in the oven!
- Prep in the afternoon and refrigerate dough. Put it in the oven just after dinner for a piping hot decadent dessert.
- The cobbler will take around 12-15 minutes to bake, based on your dish size. Be careful not to over bake the cobbler. It should have a slightly gooey center when it comes out of the oven.
- I find that all cobblers are best served hot straight out of the oven. The chocolate in the dessert will be wonderfully gooey.
Substitutions and Variations
- Butter – Salted or unsalted.
- Chocolate Chips – Semi-sweet, milk chocolate, dark chocolate or white chocolate.
- Salt – Thick flakes of sea salt from a grinder to sprinkle on top is preferred. Eliminate if you do not have.

If baking in a large dish, what size would work? 8×8 or 9×13? Thanks!
Depends on how thick/thin you want it.
I just have no idea what size pan to use if I’m doing it all in the same pan… any guidance?
You can use any baking dish – smaller dish will be thicker, larger dish will be thinner.
Hi! What size bag off rolls do you use? Are they the minis or regular size?
Either! Totally up to you.
Yumm this recipe is dangerous! It is so good and easy to make, I don’t know what could stop me from making it more often!
LOVE this cookie cobbler. You had me at salted caramel 🙂
Thank you, Aimee! I can hardly resist hot desserts or salted caramel…pretty much a deadly combo!
Julie I have just discovered your blog…and I love it! I went back and read 7 ways to bring light in. My question is do you mind sharing with me what was the color of the white paint that you used on your cabinets and soffit above the cabinets? I’m repainting my kitchen and want to use white paint on the soffit above my white cabinets to make my cabinets look taller. Thank you!
Of course not, Terry! I used untinted Solo semi-gloss from Sherwin Williams, but also love Valspar’s “trim” in their paint & primer blend. I LOVE this idea if you paint the soffit in the same color as you do the cabinets. http://www.pinterest.com/pin/103090278945224168/

Best wishes to you! I’d love to know what you do!
