Author: My Frugal Adventures
Recipe type: Dessert, Cookies
- Nutella
- ½ cup Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
- ½ Cup Milk Chocolate Chips
- 2¼ cups flour
- 1¼ teaspoons baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1¼ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla
- 1 tablespoon plain greek yogurt
- Coarse sea salt to sprinkle on top
- 1 cup butter (2 sticks)
- Mix flour, baking soda and salt together in a bowl and set aside
- Take 2 sticks of butter (1 cup) and place in a saucepan over medium high heat.
- Whisk constantly for several minutes until it starts to brown and gives off a caramel/nutty odor.
- Be very careful as the butter will burn very easily!
- Transfer butter immediately to a dish and out of the saucepan so it doesn't burn.
- Let cool for just a few minutes.
- Add the browned butter and the sugars together in a stand mixer.
- Mix well.
- Add the vanilla. egg, egg yolk, yogurt and mix just until incorporated. Slowly add in dry ingredients.
- Mix in the chocolate chips and stir gently just until combined. (Do not overmix or the cookies will be too flat)
- Place the dough in the fridge for about 20-30 minutes to harden slightly.
- Get the Nutella ready- you can either keep it at room temp or put it in the fridge to harden.
- I found it easiest to work with when it was just slightly cool from the fridge.
- Using about 1 tablespoon of dough, make a ball in your hands.
- Flatten the ball with your fingers.
- Add one small scoop of Nutella to the center of the cookie and roll it back up into a ball.
- Flatten just slightly with your fingers or a spoon.
- Cook at 350 for about 9 minutes.
- You want to remove it from the oven just slightly underdone so you have an ooey gooey cookie since it will continue to cook.
- While the cookies and nice and warm sprinkle a little sea salt over the top.
- In just a few minutes they will harden enough to pick up and you can enjoy!
