I always take treat requests, especially birthday one, and my non chocolate loving, non peanut butter loving coworker friend Rachel asked for these – a white chocolate chip cookie with some dulce de leches mixed in.

1 1/2 cups flour
1 tbs cornstarch
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 cups white chocolate chips (keep some aside to press into tops of cookies after baking)
Directions – in a bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, vanilla and dulce de leches, mix in dry ingredients then chips. Evenly divide dough into 12 pieces and form tall cylinders. Chill several hours. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paperm. Stagger cookies on sheet.
Bake 12 to 13 minutes, no longer. Remove from oven, gently press extra chips into tops of cookies.
A simple, classic request from my hubby for the friday of NFL week 7 – browned butter blondies with chocolate chips. They batter is made in no time and they bake in 20 to 22 minutes!
Regarding browning butter – place it in a skillet and cook over low heat until you see tiny brown specs form. (This may take 10 minutes or more, keep an eye on it, so it doesn’t burn). Remove from heat immediately.

These are not for the faint of heart. 4x the chocolate – a special dark chocolate cookie stuffed with black cocoa cake, ganache (a fancy name for melted chocolate) and topped with melted chocolate. I recommend chilling the raw doughs after brjng stuffed to keep them puffy and keep the stuffings (cake and ganache) inside.
Scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup to get the correct amount (same goes for the baking cocoa). And preheat your oven to 410 degrees before baking. And only bake for 15 minutes.
