Salted Caramel Brownie Cookies
Salted Caramel Brownie Cookies mix fudgy brownie dough into a cookie form with a surprise center of melted caramel and a sprinkle of sea salt. The dough remains soft and dense, while the caramel adds a gooey sweetness balanced by the salt. Baking seals the caramel inside, making for a warm, tactile bite. These cookies pair well with milk or as a decadent snack.
Ingredients
- 19.9 oz brownie mix (1 box) I used Betty Crocker's Fudgy Brownie mix
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil + 1 tablespoon
- 2 tablespoons water
- 18 caramels
- 1 teaspoon salt sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. Line a baking sheet with parchment or silicone baking mat and set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir the brownie mix, egg, oil, and water together until dough forms.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop 18 cookies onto your prepared pan. Press down with your fingers.
- Place 1 unwrapped caramel on each cookie dough bottom and sprinkle with sea salt. Top with another scoop of cookie dough.
- Press down and seal the caramel in so it is completely encased in dough.
- Bake 10 minutes and remove from oven. Keep cookies on baking sheet another 5 minutes before removing to wax paper. DO NOT place on cooling rack. There's a possibility that the bottom cookie could tear, letting your warm caramel ooze out. Serve warm with milk.
