I begin to brown some butter. I should note that browning butter is a crucial part to the flavor of these cookies; it brings out a nutty, caramel flavor.
So here’s where it gets a tiny bit messy: wrapping the dough around the Nutella; it can be tricky! Some people have found that freezing the nutella in dollops first helps.
I rolled my dough into a 1 1/2 inch ball (top left photo), then I flattened it out very thin in the palm of my hand (top right). Next I took 1 teaspoon of the chilled nutella and placed it in the middle of the flattened dough (bottom left), finally I folded the edges over to enclose the Nutella and formed the dough back into a ball.
Then I placed them evenly on a baking sheet, and very gently pressed them down. Finally I baked them until the edges begin to slightly brown.
The best part? Sprinkling them with a little coarse sea salt for that sweet and salty flavor we all love.
Imagine: Warm. Gooey. Hazelnutty. Chocolaty. Sweet and salty. What more could you want in a cookie?
Basically I’m just saying they are the best thing evvaaaaaaaaaaa.
