Sweet n Salty Caramel Brookies
Sweet n Salty Caramel Brookies
think. cookie + brownie + caramel + sea salt + plenty of chocolate. THIS BROOKIE is not even an option to dislike. Goo-ey caramel in the center and flaked sea salt = PERFECTION!
A couple notes before you get started.
- The dough is super easy to make but there is a little bit of time (20 minutes) needed to chill the dough. The reason for that is so the cookies do not spread when baking. I usually chill the dough while I unwrap the rolos, preheat my oven, and change a diaper. *haha
- These cookies are meant to be eaten warm because the caramel will harden after cooled down too long, but no worries you can simply rewarm them in the microwave.
