Brownies with cookies and salted caramel are a true celebration of flavor, combining rich chocolate aroma, crunchy cookie texture, and delicate salted caramel. This dessert emerged in American cuisine as an evolution of the classic brownie enriched with contrasting flavors. Salted caramel adds exquisite depth to the sweet treat, while cookies provide a pleasant crunch. Each bite harmoniously blends the softness of the chocolate batter, the silkiness of the caramel, and the density of the cookies, creating a multi-layered pleasure. It is perfect as a standalone dessert or an accompaniment to a strong cup of coffee. It's important not to overbake the brownies to keep them moist and rich. This is an ideal choice for those who love the balance of sweet and salty in one dessert.

In a thick-bottomed saucepan, pour 300 g of sugar and water, place it on low heat, and cook until the sugar starts to turn light brown. While the water hasn't boiled, you can stir with a whisk; after that, do not stir with anything, just wipe the walls with a damp brush where sugar crystals form.

As soon as the mixture starts to change color, remove from heat, and when the mass stops bubbling, add 50 g of diced butter. Stir and return to low heat.

Boil the cream and add it to the caramel in 2-3 batches. Be careful, the mixture foams a lot. Add salt.
