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.

1. 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
2. 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.
