Chocolate Chip Cookies on the Char-Broil Big Easy

Note: This recipe was developed using the Char-Broil Big Easy Oil-Less Fryer. If you are cooking using the Char-Broil Smoker-Roaster Grill you should cook with the lid open and the temperature set to High. You might also need to adjust the cooking time.

I recently picked up a Char-Broil Cooking Rack (sadly, no longer available) for my Big Easy. The rack lets me cook up to 6 small trays of food at once, sorta like my Wingin’ator 3000 modification. My knee-jerk reaction was “Oh yes! I gotta do some wings!” but I resisted and went simple so I can learn how the rack does in the cooker. How much simpler can you get than baking up a batch of Chocolate Chip Cookies on the Char-Broil Big Easy? In no time at all I was enjoying some ooey-gooey cookies hot off my Big Easy oil-less fryer.

Chocolate Chip Cookies on the Char-Broil Big Easy

These Chocolate Chip Cookies on the Char-Broil Big Easy are the perfect dessert for an outdoor party after you’ve already cooked your wings, chicken, ribs, or whatever other great dishes. I used refrigerated pre-made cookie dough, but your homemade cookie version will work just as well. I found that the cook time matched what the package stated for indoor cooking. Easy.

The cookies on the bottom trays cooked a bit quicker than those on the top. I was cooking on a cool (45 degrees F) day, with a light breeze, and that probably didn’t help. I did keep the wire mesh top on the cooker the entire time.

Since the cooking rack is no longer available, you’ll want a bunk bed basket instead. It lets me double or even triple the amount of cooking space I have.

Also try my super loaded Twinkies also made on the Big Easy.

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Caramel Bars

There are a few variations on these chocolate chocolate chip caramel bars around the web. I don’t think it matters just exactly how you make these, they will be the best little bars you’ve ever had. They are gooey messy, very chocolatey, and just heavenly good.

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Caramel Bars

Make sure these chocolate chocolate chip caramel bars are completely cooled before trying to cut them into bars. I was lucky enough to top my bar with some chopped pecans from my dad’s pecan trees. Some years he has very little nuts, some years lots and lots. This year we were fortunate to have bag after bag of great Georgia pecans!

Also try my chocolate-dipped peanut butter Bugles.

This recipe is based on a recipe from Deep South Dish.
