Cookie Base
1 (30 ounce) package refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough
Caramel Layer
7 ounces caramel candies, soft
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Soft Cookie Dough Layer
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 tablespoons butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, mini
Chocolate Glaze
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
4 tablespoons heavy cream

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Press Pillsbury cookie dough into the bottom of a 10-inch deep skillet. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until top layer is light golden brown and cookie has set in the center. Remove from oven, allow to cool for 20-30 minutes.
2
Prepare the caramel layer by melting caramel candies and heavy cream together in a medium pot, stirring constantly. Drizzle over cookie layer in the skillet. Place in fridge and allow to cool and set completely, for about 1 hour.
3
In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat cookie-dough ingredients together until smooth. Mixture should be thick, but spreadable. Spread on top of cooled caramel layer.
4
In a large microwave-safe bowl, microwave chocolate chips, peanut butter, and heavy cream together for 60 seconds. Whisk and return to microwave if needed. Microwave in 30 second bursts just until smooth. Spread glaze over cookie-dough layer. Place skillet in fridge and allow to cool completely before slicing and serving, about 30-45 minutes.
5
If the cookie has been stored in the fridge for longer than 1 hour, remove it from the fridge and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
