Brown Butter Salted Caramel Mocha Cookies

These are adapted from Kevin and Amanda's recipe found here.

Ingredients: 

2 sticks (1 cup) of unsalted butter

1 1/4 cup of dark brown sugar

1/4 cup of white sugar

2 eggs

1 TB of Vanilla 

2 1/4 cups of flour

1 packet of Starbucks Via Mocha

1 teaspoon of baking soda

1/2 teaspoon of salt

1 cup of caramel bits

3/4 cup of Ghiradelli dark chocolate chips

Course sea salt for sprinkling

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter starts to foam, begin whisking constantly. When the butter turns brown, fragrant, and you see little brown bits at the bottom of the pan, immediately remove from heat and and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Set aside to cool (I threw mine in the fridge to cool).

Whisk together the flour, coffee, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and set aside.

Beat the butter and sugars until well combined, about 3-5 minutes. Add the egg, yolk, and vanilla until well combined. Add the dry ingredients and mix on low-speed just until combined. Add the caramels and chocolate chunks and stir until just combined.

Spoon golf ball sized dough on cookie sheet lined with silpat. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with sea salt. Let cool and enjoy!
