Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350℉. Grease your oven safe baking dish.
  • Mix dry ingredients and set aside.
    2¼ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1½ teaspoons cornstarch, ½ teaspoon salt
  • In mixer or large mixing bowl, whisk butter, white sugar, and brown sugar. Add eggs and vanilla until just combined.
    3/4 cup butter, ½ cup white granulated sugar, ¾ cup light brown sugar, 1 egg, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Gradually incorporate dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Fold in chocolate chips.
    1 cup chocolate chips
  • Crumble dough into dish. Sprinkle brown sugar and rolos on top. Crack salt on top.
    bag of rolos, optional: brown sugar, salt in a grinder
    A white bowl filled with cookie dough, chocolate chips, and chocolate candy pieces nestled into the dough sits on a white surface, evoking the delightful essence of a chocolate chip cobbler.
  • Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown - time will depend on the size of your dish. Serve warm.

Notes

  • 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.
