Salted Caramel Brown Butter Cookies Delight

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Salted Caramel Brown Butter Cookies Delight.

1. Step 1

   In a large, heavy-bottom skillet, melt the sliced butter over medium heat. Stir continuously until it begins to foam and turns a golden brown color, about 5 minutes. Keep stirring until the foam subsides and the butter reaches a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let it cool for 10 minutes.

2. Step 2

   While the butter cools, place the unwrapped chocolate kisses in the freezer to firm up.

3. Step 3

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

4. Step 4

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 40 to 60 minutes.

5. Step 5

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

6. Step 6

   Drop tablespoonfuls of the chilled dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them apart.

7. Step 7

   Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 13 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

8. Step 8

   After baking, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for exactly 4 minutes. Gently press a caramel-filled chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie, ensuring it is slightly embedded. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top and allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack. If needed, refrigerate to re-harden the caramel kisses.
