Brown Butter Chocolate and Caramel Stuffed Cookies. I'll say that once more...Brown Butter Chocolate and Caramel Stuffed Cookies. Cookies that are made with brown nutty butter and stuffed with both chocolate and caramel. (!!!!)
The most important thing you should know about these cookies-they are more like a 'brookie'-a cookie/brownie hybrid. They look and feel like a cookie but have the fudgy chewy texture of a brownie. Have I won you over yet? Well, they're the size of your hand too.
These cookies are an absolute dream to make. They are made in one pot with a wooden spoon.
As you can see from the title, these cookies are made with brown butter. You might ask, 'is this necessary?'. I'm going to tell you...heck yes, it's necassary! By browning the butter you are completely changing the flavour profile. You are adding a nutty flavour to these fudgy, chocolatey, caramely cookies. Mmmmmm.
Once these are baked and out of the oven, you're going to have to be mega, mega strong. You'll have to wait at least 5-10 minutes before you can eat one, as they'll be really soft. If you try to pick one up, it might fall apart on you. Heartbreak.
If you can't wait...there is nothing wrong with a crumbling, melting cookie. Just eat it over the baking tray to save your clothes and/or dignity!
Do you see the above picture? I think I could stare at it all day! I want to dive into the middle of the cookie.
See you later, I've an appointment with a cup of coffee and a Brown Butter Chocolate and Caramel Stuffed Cookie.
Enjoy,

Remove the butter from the heat and stir in the soft light brown sugar.
Crack in two eggs, one at a time, and stir in.

Taking tablespoon sized scoops of the dough...
...roll into a ball...
...make an indentation in the centre and place on a lined baking tray.
