Caramel stuffed into a brownie cookie!??? C’mon!!!
I am definitely in cookie mode lately!
Replicating one of my favorite cookies from my non vegan days: Caramel Volcano Cookies!
Once they come out of the oven they are ooey, gooey & chocolate-y just how I love my cookies to be!
The Caramel Recipe I used originally came from Vegan Kitchen Magick
It is a very precise recipe for chewy caramel candies
But instructions are so clear and concise that you just cannot fail!
Alternatively you can buy vegan caramels instead and cut out much of the time involved in this recipe!
You will notice in the video I had my caramels dipped in chocolate since I made the Vegan Kitchen Magick recipe for the candies from start to finish
Only afterward did I have the “aha moment” to turn them into these caramel volcano cookies!
But whoever complained about extra chocolate!?
It will not affect the recipe either way you decide!
Notes for Success:
It is best to chill these cookies once you have them stuffed and set on the sheet pan
I like to refrigerate them for the 15 minutes or so that it takes to preheat my oven

Chubby and Chewy Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
Double Chocolate Chip Cookies ~ Vegan
Red Velvet Cookies No Dye ~ Vegan
- Semi Sweet Vegan Chocolate finely chopped 2 cup packed (226g)
- Vegan Butter 5 Tablespoons (70g)
- Granulated Sugar ½ cup (100g)
- Strong Brewed Coffee (cold) 4 Tablespoons (60ml)
- Vanilla Extract 2 teaspoons
- All Purpose Flour 1¼ cup (156g)
- Egg replacer 4 teaspoons~ I used Bob's Red Mill
- Baking Powder ½ teaspoon
- Salt pinch
- ½ Recipe Homemade Caramels or 18 Store Bought Caramel Candies
- Confectioners Sugar approx 1 cup for dipping the cookies
- Melt chocolate with the salt and vegan butter- cool slightly
- In a large mixing bowl combine granulated sugar, vanilla extract and cold coffee, whisk smooth.
- Add melted chocolate & vegan butter mixture, whisk smooth
- Add flour, egg replacer and baking powder, mix just until combined.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 HOUR.
- Scoop the cookie dough with a 2 ounce cookie scoop and insert a caramel candy in the center of the dough, then push the dough around the candy so it is encased and no longer showing
- Roll the dough ball into the confectioners sugar and place onto a parchment lined sheet pan spaced 2" apart
- I refrigerate for another 15 minutes while oven is preheating to prevent major spreading
- Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for approximately 15 minutes, it is hard to tell when these cookies are done, since they are so chocolate-y, but be careful not to over bake them or they will be dry. *I like to test ONE cookie first, before baking the entire batch since all ovens are different and even 1 minute too much will make these cookies dry and un-gooey
- Cool slightly before serving
Freeze for up to 2 months
can you use another egg replacer? the one included in this recipe doesn’t ship outside of the united states.
Hi Rose, “I am using the Plant Based Egg Egg replacer by Freely Vegan (as I have been for most of my recipes lately) I think it is the best but if you do not want to buy it or cannot get it, you may use another proprietary blend instead, however I have not tested it with another egg replacer, so results may vary slightly.
I see where you have vegan recipes but not gluten free..wish there’d be an alternative
Hi Ada, I do not do gluten free baking, and from what I understand (and have experienced) it is not a simple 1:1 substitute. I can however direct you to my friend Deborah at Vegan Kitchen Magick she does all gluten free + vegan and her recipes are amazing, not to mention she has a recipe for a gluten free baking mix as well as a NEW ALL PURPOSE FLOUR blend that even I have been playing around with and it is wonderful – THAT will be going to market very soon! Stay tuned! and thankyou!!
Hi Gretchen, I got your book few days ago. I love it! I just hope whatever I’ll bake will look as good as yours, maybe half as good. I love all your videos, you make everything look so easy.
Aweee Thank you!!! I am sure it will be awesome!!
