Ingredients

• 1/2 Cup Unsalted Brown Butter
• 1 1/4 Cups Packed Brown Sugar
• 1/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
• 2 Large Eggs (Room Temp)
• 1 Tsp Vanilla
• 1 2/3 Cups of All Purpose Flour(Spoon & Leveled)
• 1 Tsp Baking Soda
• 1/2 Tsp Salt
• 3/4 Cup Chopped White Chocolate
• 1/2 Cup Chopped Hazelnuts
• 12- 1 Tbsp Dallops White Hazelnut Cream

Instructions

This makes 12 Cookies.

1. Begin by making the brown butter. In a heavy saucepan add the 1 Cup of Unsalted butter and heat butter over Medium heat to begin the browning process. Stir constantly until the butter begins to turn into a golden brown color. It will be foamy and that is ok. Once the butter has reached that beautiful golden brown color remove from the heat and place it on a heat safe bowl to cool.
2. Once your brown butter has cooled and is still runny but on the thicker side Preheat oven to 350F and in a large bowl combine your brown butter and sugars and whisk until combined.
3. Add eggs and vanilla and whisk until combined.
4. Add your sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture and fold until just combined. Do not over mix.
5. Add the chopped hazelnuts and white chocolate chunksand mix until combined.
6. The cookies need to be baked right away they cannot be stored due to their butter/sugar ratio.
7. Drop the dough balls by 1/3 cup or use a regular size ice cream scoop. Flatten the cookie dough with the palm of your hand and place a dallop of White Hazelnut in the center of the flattened cookie dough.
8. Wrap the dough around and over the white hazelnut dallop like a big hug covering all the exposed white hazelnut.
9. Give the cookies enough space in between on a large cookie sheet baking 6 at a time.
10. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown on the bottom.
11. Once the cookies are ready you can fix the shape with a large round cookie cutter or a big measuring cup.(Videos on my insta for reference)
12. Add more chocolate chunks on top and sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts.
13. Allow the cookies to cool completely.
14. Enjoy!

TIPS

1. Cookies will look a little undone once taken out they will finish baking in the baking sheet out of the oven. Allow them to cool completely to set.
2. Make sure your brown butter is cooled before you begin to make the cookie dough.
3. Cookies can be stored in the refrigerator and take out desired amount 1-2 hours before enjoying!
