These soft and chewy brown butter cookies are filled with oozing pockets of our Chocolate Christmas Crackers!

Pour yourself a glass of milk and enjoy the indulgence (remember to save a few for Santa!).
Ingredients
- 160 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams light brown sugar
- 100 grams white caster sugar
- 1 egg yolk at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 280 grams self raising flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- The Chocolate Gift Company Christmas Crackers
Instructions
To make the browned butter:
- Measure the unsalted butter into a saucepan and place over a medium-low heat. Stir until the butter has melted. Continue to heat whilst swirling the pan occasionally until the melted butter is foamy on top and a golden amber colour (usually around 4-5 minutes). The browned butter will have small brown flecks in it - these are caramelised butter solids which taste amazing in the cookies, so don't remove them!
- Pour the browned butter into a mixing bowl and leave to cool for 10 minutes.
To make the cookies:
- Add the brown and white sugar into the bowl with the browned butter. Mix in the egg, egg yolk and vanilla extract. Divide the cookie dough evenly between 3 bowls.
- Chop the Christmas Cracker chocolate batons into small chunks.
- Fold the milk chocolate chunks into one bowl, the white chocolate chunks into the second bowl and the dark chocolate chunks into the third bowl.
- Scoop up heaped tablespoons of cookie dough and toll into balls. Place them on a lined baking tray as you go. You should be able to make 15 in total.
- Cover with clingfilm and place into the fridge to chill for at least 1 hour (or up to 2 days if preparing ahead).
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC (fan). Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper.
- Place 5-6 cookies on each baking tray, leaving at least 8cm space between each so they have room to spread when baking.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden and firm around the edges. The middle should look pale and under-baked - this is a good thing!
- Leave the cookies to cool on the baking tray for at least 20 minutes. The cookies will continue to cook and firm up during this time. Now pour yourself a glass of milk and enjoy these delicious cookies!
