Instructions

Makes 8 Cookies

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 the heat and place it on a heat safe bowl to cool.
2. Once your butter has cooled Preheat oven to 350F
3. In a large bowl combine your brown butter and sugars and whisk until combined.
4. Add egg and vanilla and whisk until combined.
5. Add your sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture and fold until just combined. Do not over mix.
6. Add M&M's, chocolate chips and cinnamon chips and fold until combined. Do not over mix.
7. Cookies need to be baked right away the dough does not store well.
8. Drop the dough by 1/4 cup balls or use a standard size ice cream scoop.
9. Flatten the cookie with the palm of your hand and add a werther's caramel in the center. Enclose out the dough over the caramel so you have a cookie dough ball.
10. Add more M&M's and chocolate chips on top.
11. Bake 6 at a time on a large cookie sheet.
12. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown on the bottom.
13. 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)
14. Once the cookies are out of the oven carefully add more M&M's, chocolate chips and caramels on top.
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.
