No, you haven’t missed Cookie Friday. Every so often it just takes more than one Friday to truly appreciate all the delicious cookies out there. So, for a change, today is Cookie Saturday! And we’re celebrating with delicious Double Chocolate Chip Cookies featuring Nutella & Salted Caramel. The name is quite a mouthful but so are the cookies themselves! Yay! More is more, right?!

Who could possibly resist these wonderful little sweet treats? Nutella, salted caramel, chocolate, and some additional chocolate chips as well. It’s simply impossible not to give in, isn’t it!? Well, perhaps not for those who have to or want to count calories. Unfortunately, there are quite a few of those packed into these cookies. But everyone else is sure to jump for joy when having one of these cookies. I’m certain of it! Just block out the sugar and fat (maybe keep it in the back of your head), and simply enjoy the cookies! You can always take the dog out for an extra lap or two tomorrow, right?!

You can prepare these cookies two ways: the quick method, or the slightly more elevated approach. Both is perfectly fine and will yield a delicious result. I certainly won’t hold it against anyone if they choose not to make the salted caramel for these cookies from scratch. After all, there’s no need to make things more complicated than absolutely necessary.

So, if you’ve always wanted to try making your own salted caramel, you can prepare the cookies exactly as described in the recipe. The alternative is simply to use store-bought caramel candies instead of the salted caramel, as shown in my YouTube video below. It saves you a few steps, but the cookies turn out just as good…

As you might be able to tell from the video, the preparation is quite simple when using caramel candies. If you were using caramel sauce instead, you would simply need to add an extra intermediate step: freezing small portions of the caramel beforehand so that they can be handled and incorporated into the dough. Without that step, the whole process would just turn into a massive sticky mess—and nobody really wants that!

So, just make the cookies whichever way is most practical for you. I will add, however, that it never hurts to have a little jar of salted caramel sauce sitting around in your kitchen! You can pour it over all sorts of things… it makes every dessert just that little bit better.

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

  • English
  • Deutsch

1. For the salted caramel add sugar and water to a saucepan and mix until the sugar has mostly dissolved. Heat up to medium-high temperature. The mix will start to bubble and boil. You can move the saucepan, but do not stir anymore. The mix will start to caramelize. Keep moving the saucepan until everything has a pale golden color. Take it off the heat and add the butter. Be careful, it will bubble up a lot. Move the saucepan until the butter is dissolved. Add the heavy cream and mix in with a spoon (it will bubble up again). Finally, add the vanilla extract and flaky sea salt and mix until well combined. Let it cool down a bit and then transfer it to a glass jar with a lid if you want to store it for later.

2. Prepare a wooden board or similar with baking parchment or plastic wrap. Use a spoon and place 15-16 portions of Nutella on the prepared board (a heaping teaspoon each) and a portion of the cooled caramel on top. Place in the freezer and let freeze for about one hour. It has to get harder, but not completely frozen.

3. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with baking parchment and set them aside. Melt the butter in a medium-sized saucepan. Take it off the heat, add the brown sugar and mix until well combined. Add the eggs and them mix. Add cocoa powder, salt and baking powder and mix in. Next, add the flour and mix until just combined. Do not overmix the cookie dough. Add the chocolate chips and fold them in.

4. Take one heaped tablespoon of dough and press in a piece of Nutella and caramel filling, cover that with about a tablespoon of dough and seal in the filling.

5. Sprinkle the dough portions with some flaky sea salt and bake the cookies for about 8-12 minutes. Take them out of the oven and let them cool down on the baking sheets for some time, then transfer them to a wire rack to let them cool down completely.

1. Für das Salzkaramell den Zucker zusammen mit dem Wasser in einen Topf geben und verrühren, bis sich der Zucker einigermaßen aufgelöst hat. Auf mittlere bis hohe Temperatur einstellen. Die Mischung wird langsam anfangen zu köcheln. Ab jetzt nicht mehr rühren, sondern den Topf nur noch hin- und herschwenken. Der Zucker wird langsam karamellisieren – den Topf dabei in Bewegung halten, bis alles eine goldene Färbung hat. Vom Herd nehmen und die Butter dazugeben – Vorsicht, schäumt stark auf! Den Topf wieder nur bewegen, bis die Butter geschmolzen ist. Die Sahne zugeben und mit einem Löffel verrühren (schäumt vermutlich noch einmal kurz auf), bis sich alles gut verbunden hat. Vanille Extrakt und die Meersalzflocken dazugeben und unterrühren. Etwas abkühlen lassen und dann zum Aufbewahren in einen Glasbehälter mit Deckel umfüllen.

2. Ein Holzbrett oder Ähnliches mit Backpapier oder Plastikfolie belegen. Mit einem Löffel 15-16 kleine Portionen Nutella auf dem Brett platzieren (ein Teelöffel pro Portion) und dann jeweils etwas vom Karamell daraufgeben. Wenn man eine kleine Mulde ins Nutella drückt, geht das am besten. Alles zusammen für etwa 1 Stunde in den Gefrierschrank stellen. Es soll fest werden, muss aber nicht komplett durchfrieren.

3. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Zwei Backbleche mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen. Die Butter in einem mittelgroßen Topf schmelzen. Vom Herd nehmen und dann den braunen Zucker dazugeben und unterrühren. Die Eier dazugeben und verrühren. Kakao, Salz und Backpulver dazugeben und verrühren. Das Mehl dazugeben und so lange rühren, bis sich alles verbunden hat (aber nicht zu viel rühren!). Die Schokoladendrops dazugeben und unterheben.

4. Für einen Cookie jeweils etwa einen gehäuften Esslöffel vom Teig nehmen und ein Stück der gefrosteten Nutella-Karamell-Füllung hineindrücken. Mit einer weiteren, etwa esslöffelgroßen Portion Teig bedecken und dann alles zusammendrücken. Die Füllung sollte vollkommen vom Teig umschlossen sein, damit beim Backen nichts ausläuft.

5. Die Teigportionen mit einigen Meersalzflocken bestreuen und für etwa 8-12 Minuten backen. Die Cookies aus dem Ofen nehmen und noch etwas auf dem Blech liegen lassen, dann zum kompletten Auskühlen auf ein Kuchengitter legen.
