Instructions

Make sure your eggs are room temperature and this dough will come together beautifully!

  1. Begin by cutting butter into cubes. Next, In a heavy saucepan 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 heat and place it on a heat safe bowl to cool.
  2. While your butter cools sift your dry ingredients.
  3. Preheat oven to 350F
  4. In a large bowl combine your brown butter and sugars and whisk until combined.
  5. Add eggs and vanilla and whisk until combined.
  6. Add your sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture and fold until just combined. Do not over mix.
  7. Add chocolate chips and chocolate chunks and fold until combined. Do not over mix.
  8. Cookies need to be baked right away the dough does not store well.
  9. Drop the dough by 1/4 cup balls or use an ice cream scoop. Use the palm of your hand or a flat item and flatten the cookie dough ball add lindt or hersheys and enclose the dough around the chocolate. Then flatten the dough ball about 3/4 of the way down.
  10. Add more chocolate chips and chunks on top.
  11. Bake 6 at a time in a large cookie sheet.
  12. Bake for 10 minutes.
  13. When 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)
  14. Once the cookies are out of the oven add pieces of hersheys and lindt on top and sprinkle crushed peppermint.
  15. Allow the cookies to cool completely
  16. Enjoy!

TIPS

  1. This cookie dough CANNOT be made in advanced in needs to be baked right away it does not store well.
  2. 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.
  3. Baked cookies can be stored in the fridge in a tight container for 3-5 days and can be heated in the microwave for approximately 30 seconds depending on the heat of your microwave to enjoy later.
