These are rather large cookies with a fabulous gooey center!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter (melted)
  • 1 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips ((milk or dark))
  • 1/2 cup Nutella
  • 16 chocolate caramel candies ((I used Rolos.))
  • Fleur de sel for sprinkling on top, if desired.

Note

I recently ran across this recipe and thought I might be in heaven.  When I learned that it was created by a young lady named Izy who is a mere 17 years old - I was positively inspired! Please visit her lovely website - www.topwithcinnamon.com - and, if nothing else, enjoy the beautiful photos she takes.

Directions

Step 1
Gather ingredients and preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a baking sheet with a silicon liner (like Silpat) or with parchment paper.

Step 2 Stir the brown sugar and eggs into melted butter. Add the cocoa powder, salt and baking soda until well combined with few lumps.
Step 3 Stir in the flour just until you can no longer see any white in the chocolate. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Step 4
Spoon dough onto the prepared cookie sheet by the tablespoon. Using your finger or the back if a measuring spoon, create a small well in each ball of dough.

Step 5
Add about a half teaspoon of Nutella to the well and one Rolo in each cookie. Top with an additional tablespoon of dough that has been flattened into a disc.
