Ingredients
  

  • 130 g Unsalted Butter
  • 100 g Dark Brown Sugar
  • 100 g Caster Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 230 g Plain Flour Sieved
  • 40 g Cocoa
  • 1 tbsp Cornflour
  • ¾ tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
  • ¼ tsp Baking Powder
  • 50 g Dark Chocolate Melted
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 200 g Dulce De Leche
  • Flaky Salt

Instructions
 

  • Line 3 trays with baking paper.
  • Brown butter by adding cubes butter to a pan over medium high heat. Allow to brown for 3 - 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Add cooled Butter and Sugars to bowl of stand mixer or to a bowl and beat together for 5 minutes.
  • Add the Egg and beat until just combined.
  • Combine Plain Flour, Cocoa Powder, Cornflour, Bicarbonate of Soda and Baking Powder in a bowl. Mix together and then fold into the dough.
  • Stir in chocolate and vanilla.
  • At this stage, I like to place the dough in the fridge for between 1 - 48 hours. The longer the better!
  • Divide dough into 14 cookies and make an indentation in the middle using your thumb. Add a little Dulce De Leche and the seal the cookie. Continue with the remaining cookies.
  • When ready to bake, preheat oven to 190 C/170 Fan/GM 5.
  • Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes. Sprinkle over some Salt.
  • Allow to cool for 15 minutes and then remove to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Storage

How long do they keep? These cookies keep well in an air tight container for 3 - 4 days. To Freeze - You can freeze the cookies minus the Dulce De Leche for 1 month. To make, allow to thaw, then add the Dulce De Leche and bake. You can also freeze the baked Dulce De Leche Cookies for up to 1 month in an airtight container. Allow them to stand for a few hours so that the middle is gooey. You can also reheat them slightly in the microwave or oven if you like. 

Top Tips and Variations

  • These cookies need fridge time. Cookie dough loves fridge time as it allows the flavours to develop better.
  • Use an ice cream scoop to shape the cookie dough. It makes things easier!
  • If you prefer not to add cocoa or don't have it, add the same quantity of plain flour instead
  • You can add Chocolate Chips on top/in the Dough if you like.
