Decadent Billionaire Cookie Recipe
These soft, chewy, rich and decadent Billionaire Cookies will be a sweet recipe family and friends will beg for.
I don’t know what can really say about these cookies. They are complete decadence. They’re so rich, I’ve called them Billionaire Cookies.
These billionaire cookies start off with a soft and chewy sugar dough cookie base and are pressed with caramel and chocolate.
They’re soft, tender, and sweet but not overly sweet. I make them into 12 large cookies so that the base of the cookie will fit the glorious real, milk chocolate wafers.
Once you’ve mastered the sugar cookie dough base, these billionaire cookies will appear and disappear in your kitchen quite frequently.
What I love about these Billionaire Cookies is that you can whip up something decadent without having to do all the work of making a layer cake, make frosting, decorate, etc.
You can make the Billionaire Cookie dough and use half. Or, if you prefer, you can make six decadent cookies and freeze the rest of the dough (without toppings) in balls for later use. That’s what I usually do when making these cookies.
So go ahead and be rich for a day. Try these Billionaire Cookies and let me know what you think!
