I am so excited to be finally posting this recipe and can't wait for you guys to see what you think!- I know you will love it <3

These make about 12 cookies, and are soo nice warm with some ice cream or just simply by themselves. They keep really well and last about 5 days in a air tight container.

If you can, i would really recommend browning your butter, i think this really elevates the cookie from a normal cookie, there are tones of videos out there on how to brown butter! - and once you know how to do it you will never look back.

Method :

- On a grease proof baking tray put 12 heaped tablespoons of Nutella on a plate lined with grease proof paper and put into the freezer till completely frozen.

- First start of by browning your butter, sounds scary but trust me this really elevates the cookies flavour. First put your butter in a saucepan on a medium heat until it has fully melted then, turn the hob up to a medium-high heat and keep mixing till browned - keep an eye on it !. When its done you should be able to smell a lovely nutty smell and the butter should of changed to a brown colour (theres tones of videos on youtube on how to do this). Then simply, set aside and allow time for it to cool to room temperature ( normally 20 minutes).

- Then in a medium bowl, combine the plain flour, chocolate chips (if you choose to add them), baking powder, bicarbonate, salt and cornflour in a bowl and mix till combined.

- Then, pour the cooled browned butter into the sugars and slowly add the eggs one at a time making sure it’s incorporated after each one.

- Slowly add the dry mix, into the wet until its fully incorporated.

- Let it rest in the fridge for 15 mins.

- After the cookie dough has been chilled, roll into balls (roughly the size of a heaped tablespoon) and put the frozen Nutella in it ensuring its all covered. Covering it with more cookie dough if needed and then place into the freezer for 15 mins.

- Now, heat up your oven to 180* fan and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Once the cookie dough balls have been frozen place them on the baking tray, spaced out and cook for 15-17 minutes (depends on your oven).

- When a lightly golden brown on the top, take them out and let them cool for 15 minutes not removing them from the tray and then using a spatula lift them of to a cooling rack. Then the best bit by far...is.. EAT them ((;

I hope you all try out this recipe!, and don't forget to tag me when you have made them

NOTES:

1) Don't be intimated by browning the butter, it really makes a diffrence. Though if you don't have time to spare you can just use regular melted butter.

2) you can add chocolate chips to it, sometimes i do and other times i don't either way it still tastes .. delicious.

3) If your feeling fancy why not add some sea salt, this honestly complements the cookie so much just simply sprinkle it on top off the cookies when they come out of the oven.

4) if you don't have nutella or simply don't like it, you could switch the nutella for biscoff just do the exact same as if it was nutella (i.e. freezing it in before putting it in the dough)
