These Salted Caramel Browned Butter Cookies are the ultimate indulgence for cookie lovers. The process begins by browning butter, which creates a deep, nutty, toffee-like flavor that forms the soul of the cookie dough. The dough is thick, chewy, and generously studded with chocolate chips. Each cookie hides a soft caramel candy in its center, which melts during baking into a luscious, gooey pocket. A final sprinkle of flaky sea salt just after baking elevates all the flavors, cutting through the sweetness and adding a delightful crunch. These cookies are irresistibly soft in the middle with slightly crisp edges. Perfect for holiday baking, gift-giving, or a special treat, they are guaranteed to impress with their sophisticated balance of sweet, salty, and rich flavors.

Instructions

1
Brown the butter: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, swirling often. It will foam, then settle with brown bits at the bottom and smell nutty. Immediately pour into a heatproof bowl and let cool slightly.
2
In a stand mixer, combine the browned butter and both sugars. Mix until combined. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
4
Cover and chill dough for at least 30 minutes (up to 24 hours).
5
Preheat oven to 350°F. Scoop 3 TBSP of dough, flatten slightly, place a caramel in the center, and wrap dough around it to seal. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet, 3 inches apart.
6
Bake for 11-13 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are soft. Immediately after removing from oven, sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring.
