Nutella and Salted Caramel Double Chocolate Chip Cookies


Ingredients

For the Cookies

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup Nutella
  • Sea salt to sprinkle on top

For the salted caramel filling

  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 3 Tbsp. water
  • 1 Tbsp. butter
  • 3 Tbsp. heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp. salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Melt butter in a medium-sized sauce pan. Take off heat and stir in brown sugar, cocoa powder, eggs and salt until combined. Stir in baking soda and flour. Gently fold in chocolate chips. Place in fridge while making salted caramel.

  3. Now for the caramel filling: measure butter and cream, set aside. In a large sauce pan over medium heat, mix sugar and water until sugar is dissolved. Once dissolved, turn heat up to high. Then tilt and swirl pan while mixture boils. It will start to caramelize and turn a golden-yellow color. Take off heat and add in butter. Stir in cream. Mix in vanilla and salt. Set aside to let harden while you begin forming cookies.

  4. Scoop one heaped tablespoon of dough onto cookie sheet. Create thumbprint-sized indentation in middle. Fill with 1/2 tsp. of Nutella then top with warm caramel. Place about 1/2 tsp. flattened dough on top and pinch the edges to seal. Sprinkle with sea salt. Repeat until you run out of dough. (Makes about 15 cookies)

  5. Bake for 10 minutes, or until dough isn’t gooey. (Well, not too gooey. I like under-baked cookies)

  6. Transfer to wire rack to cool. Enjoy warm or cooled :)
