Instructions
For the brownie cookies:
Pre-heat oven to 325 F (165 C).
Melt butter then stir into sugar and cocoa.
Add egg and beat until shiny.
Mix in flour,salt,baking powder and peanuts.
Put the brownie dough in the fridge for 10-15 minutes until it gets a little bit hard.
Take out of the fridge and scoop a tablespoon of the dough on a greased sheet pan.
Bake for 15-18 minutes.
To make sure they're done,just put a toothpick and if it comes clear,is done.Let them cool in a rack.
For the salted caramel frosting:
In a pan add the sugar and the water under medium-high heat.
You can stir it up but once the sugar turns brown,leave it alone.
Do not stir.
You want the caramel to get a nice dark brown colour, but not too dark. Be careful not to burn it.
Remove the pan from the heat and add the heavy cream,the salt and butter and stir with a wooden spoon.
Do it quick and be careful!
You don't want to have a caramel burn! I'm talking from personal experience!
let it cool completely.
Once the caramel is cooled, it is time to make our frosting.
In a stand mixer,mix the sticks of butter and add gradually the powder sugar, 1 cup at a time.
When the mixture start looking like a butter cream add the caramel and stir for 2-3 more minutes.
That's it!
If it's a little bit runny, put it in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
Assembly
Take the brownie cookie and make your sandwiches!
I kept them on the fridge so they can get a little bit harder. Personal preference !
