In the world of delightful treats, few things bring as much joy as a batch of freshly baked cookies. Their warm, comforting aroma and sweet, satisfying taste can turn any ordinary day into a special occasion. Today, we bring you a recipe that combines the rich flavors of brown butter and indulgent Nutella to create a truly irresistible treat – Brown Butter Nutella Cookies.
Ingredients:
– 1 cup unsalted butter
– 1 cup light brown sugar
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup Nutella
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir occasionally and continue cooking until the butter turns a golden brown color and has a nutty aroma. Be careful not to let it burn. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
4. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until smooth and creamy.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
6. Gently fold in the Nutella, swirling it into the dough but not fully incorporating it. This will create beautiful Nutella swirls in the cookies.
7. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may seem slightly underbaked, but they will continue to set as they cool.
9. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
