CARAMEL BROWNIE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Combine brownie mix and flour in a large bowl with a rubber spatula.
• Add the eggs and melted butter to the brownie mix mixture. Combine with a rubber spatula. It will be a little wetter than normal cookie dough.
• Scoop three tablespoons of mix and form a ball. Press a hole into the middle of the ball to form an indent. Place a caramel in the indent and cover it with the dough. Repeat this process with all of the dough.
• Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets about 3 inches apart. Place in the freezer until firm, about 20 minutes.
• Bake for 15-17 minutes. Watch these carefully because if they are overbaked, they will be very hard. The edges should be just set and the top should be a little loose, but not wet. If any caramel spilled out of the cookies, scrape the caramel off of the pan before it hardens.
• Sprinkle with flaked salt, if using. Cool on the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Transfer to the wire rack and let cool. You can eat them while warm, but be prepared for a messy cookie. If you are enjoying them later on, refresh in the microwave for a few seconds to allow the caramel to get melty. Amazing when served as an ice cream sandwich!
