Nutella-Stuffed Browned Butter Chocolate Chips Sea Salt Cookies

J found this amazing recipe and made the trek over to my place that evening to try it out. I got impatient and didn't allow the cookies to sit long enough, so it was a bit difficult to roll them into balls. Nonetheless, the end result was amazzzinnngg - the final touch of sea salt - perfection.


Ingredients 
  • 2¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1¼ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp of salt
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter
  • 1¼ cup packed dark brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
  • 1½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup milk chocolate chips
  • Nutella
  • Sea salt
Instructions 
  1. Mix flour, baking soda, and salt until combined. 
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, brown butter and set aside to cool.
  3. Beat together butter and sugars until light and fluffy. 
  4. Mix in egg, yolk, vanilla, and yogurt until incorporated. 
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients until combined. 
  6. Fold in chocolate chips.
  7. Place cookie dough in the refrigerator for 2 hours to let the flavors meld together.
  8. Preheat the oven to 350F. 
  9. Roll 1½ tbsp of dough and flatten the dough to make a flat circle. Place 1 teaspoon of chilled Nutella in the middle then place another flat circle of cookie dough on top. Crimp edges to seal.
  10. Place dough balls on cookie sheet, 2 inches apart and bake 9-11 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.
  11. Sprinkle with sea salt and let cool on wire racks.

P.S. I realized that I have a lot of J friends. I should find a way to start distinguishing J from J from J. HAHA
