Instructions
In a large bowl, stir together 18 ounces (510 g) brownie mix, 2 large eggs (100 g), and 1/4 cup (57 g) melted unsalted butter until a uniform dough forms.
Tightly cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
While the dough chills, cut each of the 12 soft caramel squares in half to make 24 pieces and set them aside.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
After chilling, scoop a heaping tablespoon of dough (or use a tablespoon scoop). Flatten the dough slightly, place one halved caramel in the center, then wrap the dough completely around the caramel and roll into a ball. Repeat until you have 24 filled cookie balls.
Place the cookie balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Bake for 11–12 minutes, until the edges are set.
Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, sprinkle each with coarse sea salt to taste.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to finish cooling before serving.

Storage:
Store salted caramel brownie cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Let frozen cookies thaw to room temperature before serving so the caramel center softens.
