Brown Butter Salted Caramel Mocha Cookies

What you need:

    • 2 sticks unsalted butter
    • 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
    • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
    • 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
    • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
    • 2 Tbsp. instant coffee granules
    • 1 tsp. baking soda
    • 1/2 tsp. salt
    • 1 cup caramel bits
    • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks
    • Sea salt for sprinkling

Directions:

    1. In a saucepan, melt butter on medium heat. When it begins to foam, start whisking. Continue to whisk until it browns and there are brown bits in the bottom of the pan. Pour into a mixer bowl and allow to cool.
    2. In a medium size bowl, whisk together flour, coffee granules, baking soda, and salt.
    3. Beat together the cooled butter and sugars for about 3 to 5 minutes.
    4. Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla, mix until combined.
    5. Add flour mixture gradually and mix until just combined.
    6. Stir in caramels and chocolate chunks.
    7. Using a cookie scooper, scoop dough onto a parchment paper or silicone mat lined cookie sheet. Sprinkle each round with sea salt.
    8. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for about 10 minutes.
    9. Cool for 2 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
