View source for Brownie Cookies with Salted Caramel Creme Filling

Preparation: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line bake sheet with parchment paper.
*Please note the recipe is for 1/4 cup of flour–not more. I see comments saying that is  not enough or the batter is thin. To prevent a thin batter make sure to beat the  eggs and sugar for FIFTEEN minutes, yes, that long — don’t short it or the result is a thin batter. Beating it that long will emulsify the batter and help to create a thicker batter. Lastly, this  recipe is from from Donna Hay and the only tweak I made was to swap the peanut butter filling for a caramel filling.
