Delicious bite-fuls of salty and sweet, chewy and gooey! Original recipe from the www.whatmollymade.com website Brown Butter Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Sticks/1 Cup Butter
  • 1 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup White Sugar
  • 3 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Egg + 1 Egg Yolk
  • 2 1/2 Cups AP Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 Tsp Sea Salt (I used Himalayan Pink Sea Salt)
  • 1 –2 Cups Chocolate Chips (Semi-Sweet or Dark)
  • 1 Bag of Pre-wrapped Caramels, cut in half

Instructions

  1. Make Browned Butter by melting 2 sticks of butter in a pan over low heat, melting, and continuing to cook until the butter turns a light brown color. I stir or swirl the butter throughout the process to make sure it doesn’t scorch. The difference between browned butter and burned butter is not pleasant.
  2. Let browned butter cool.
  3. With a stand up or hand mixer, mix cooled browned butter and sugars together thoroughly.
  4. Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla to the mix and combine.
  5. Add dry ingredients and continue to mix until combined.
  6. Add chocolate chips by hand with rubber spatula.
  7. Scoop rounded mounds of dough into container and refrigerate for a minimum of two hours- overnight.
  8. Take dough out of the refrigerator and set out for at least fifteen minutes.
  9. Place 1/2 of each caramel into each rounded mound of dough.
  10. Bake in a 325* oven for 12-14 minutes, until cooked but not overcooked.
  11. Sprinkle baked cookies with additional sea salt and let cool.
