Nutella stuffed brown butter cookies

<ol>

<li>Make Nutella dollops by spooning quarter-sized Nutella dollops onto a piece of parchment paper & placing it in your freezer for at least 45 minutes.  </li>

<li>Room temp your eggs by letting them sit for at least 30-45 minutes on counter, cracked in a bowl, while browning your butter.  Start off browning the butter in a medium sauce pan over medium high heat.  Stir constantly until butter gets foamy, bubbly, & starts to turn an amber color with a nutty smell.  Remove from heat & transfer to a bowl.  Chill in freezer for 30 minutes or in fridge until ready to bake.  </li>

<li>In bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter, sugars, & vanilla until smooth.  </li>

<li>Add in your room temperature eggs, one at a time to butter mixture, while mixing on medium-low speed.  Mixture should become light, creamy & fluffy. </li>

<li>Add flour, baking soda, & salt to the egg butter mixture, & turn mixer on medium low speed mixing until just combined.  </li>

<li>Chop chocolate bars.  Fold in chocolate chunks to the batter.  </li>

<li>On parchment paper on a plate or smaller cutting board, scoop roughly 2 tablespoon sized cookie dough balls.  </li>

<li>Take a dollop of the frozen Nutella & place in the middle of each cookie dough ball, covering it with another tablespoon of cookie dough.  </li>

<li>Place on parchment paper until no batter is left.  Chill in freezer for at least 45 minutes, or longer in fridge until ready to bake. </li>

<li>While cookie dough balls are chilling, preheat oven to 350F.</li>

<li>Spread cookie dough balls out evenly about 2-3 inches apart from each other onto a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are turning a golden brown but the middle is still a light color.  Cookies may need to be reshaped if they spread out too much.  You can easily reshape them using a knife or glass.</li>

<li>Drizzle a small amount of Nutella on the tops of each cookie.</li>

<li>Let cookies rest for at least 10 minutes on counter before handling them.  Top with flaky sea salt & Christmas sprinkles & set out with a cold glass of milk for Santa tonight!</li>
