Have you seen the new Girl Scout cookie flavor?! It’s a brownie cookie filled with caramel and a “hint of salt.” I knew the minute I saw them that I was going to have to recreate them for the blog!
And although I haven’t tried the Girl Scout cookie version yet, I’m OBSESSED with this homemade version! There’s just something about the chewy brownie cookie and the soft caramel filling that *allllllmost* drips out of the cookie when you take a bite. And then the salt on top that makes these the perfect balance of sweet and salty. I hate to brag, but………these are perfection.
Ingredients Needed
- Fudge Brownie Mix – I used the Betty Crocker 18.3 oz box, but other brands should work just fine
- Flour
- Eggs
- Vegetable Oil
- Caramel Bits – You can find these by the chocolate chips in the baking aisle at most grocery stores
- Heavy Whipping Cream
- Salt
- Chocolate Chips – I like to use semi-sweet, but milk or dark chocolate would work great, too
- Flake Sea Salt – If you just have regular salt, that will work fine, too
How to make Salted Caramel Brownie Cookies
I love how fancy these look, yet they’re really not that difficult. See my step-by-step photos of the cookie recipe below!

Scoop onto a parchment-lined sheet 
Bake

Ready for the filling! 
Melt together filling ingredients 
Spoon into the indentations 
Drizzle with chocolate 
Top with flaky sea salt
How Should I Store These Cookies?
Once they’re completely cool, store them in an air-tight container at room temperature (or in the fridge) for up to 5 days. If you’d like to freeze them, that would work great, too! Simply place in an air-tight container and freeze for up to 3 months. I do recommend placing a sheet of waxed paper between layers of cookies so they don’t stick together due to the filling.
