Cookies are not only easy to make but tastes delicious too. These are always on my menu for potlucks, parties, birthdays or any get together. These are also great option for your kids lunchbox.
I can confidently say that these are the best cookies you will ever make. This is one of my old blog post. I am updating it with new pictures. The only difference between my old and new recipe is that I have substituted butter with brown butter and I like this version more than the earlier one. You will love the nutty flavor in the cookies that comes from brown butter or ghee.
Cut the butter into cubes, add it to pan and melt it over medium low heat. Once the butter is melted, increase the heat little above medium. Keep scraping and swirling the pan using with spatula or spoon during the process.
The butter will foam and sizzle around the edges. Slowly the bubble or foam dissolves and lightly brown specs will start forming at the bottom Keep an eye on stove the entire time as there is very few seconds between brown butter and burnt butter. Once you smell the nutty aroma of the butter, switch off the flame. Transfer it to heat proof bowl immediately. Let it cool down completely before using it in any baking recipes.
Melted butter will result in chewy cookies. But make sure you add right amount of flour along with it to avoid from making your cookie more greasy.
Chilled nutella makes it easy to work with while baking cookies. Take about 1 ½ to 2 tablespoon of dough and shape them into ball. Flatten it into the palm of your hand. Now add 2 teaspoon of chilled nutella in the middle and fold the dough around it. Now re-roll it again into ball. This need not be perfect ball. Just make sure Nutella isn’t coming out. Add more dough here if necessary. Place the dough balls on baking sheet lined with parchment paper 2 inches apart and very gently press them.
Nutella contains skim milk powder which is derived from milk of cow. Hence its not vegan.
Once the cookie dough is done, keep it in refrigerator atleast for 1 hour. Longer you keep it, better it absorbs the buttery flavor and gives you the most delicious cookie. Do not over bake the cookies Use good amount of chocolate chips.
The only tip is to never over bake the cookies. They make look undone but they actually are.
Over mixing the ingredients will make your cookies flat. This makes your dough warm. Better idea is to chill the dough even before you bake. Also bake the cookies at the right temperature.

The time may vary depending on the oven and the thickness of your cookies. As soon as they are out of oven sprinkle sea salt. The cookies may look undone but they will continue to cook as they are out of the oven. Let it continue to cool for 2 to 5 minutes before transferring it to cooling rack.
