I’ve said it before. Baking now is like therapy for me. Cheap and good therapy.

 

But in order for me to support my habit, I need the right tools. I’m sometimes a little late to adopt things.  . but I guess it doesn’t matter as long as I come around, right? My Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer. I seriously don’t know how I survived so long without this appliance. A cookie scoop for baking. Rubber spatula, bench scraper, pastry brushes . . . and my IMG_2980-6

 

If you bake, you know what this is. .  and you probably already know how awesome these are. It is reusable for thousands of uses and provides even heat transfer to baked goods. Just to show you how wonderful these baking mats are, I am giving one away.

 

But with every good Silpat, you need a great recipe. If you like chocolate and dulce de leche, look no further. These cookies are amazingly delicious. And I was crazy enough to make my dulce de leche bite_cookie_HipFoodieMom.com-16

Dulce de Leche Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

This recipe makes about 18-20 cookies. I mixed everything by hand but feel free to use your stand mixer if you'd like.
Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Total Time25 minutes
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: Cookies/Sweet Treats
Servings: 18 -20
Author: Hip Foodie Mom

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • about 1 cup blend of milk + dark or bittersweet chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup dulce de leche see recipe below or buy from the store
  • course sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a medium saucepan or in the microwave, melt the butter. Take off the heat and stir in (by hand) the brown sugar, cocoa, eggs and salt until well combined. In a separate mixing bowl, mix the baking soda and flour together and then add slowly to the cocoa mixture. Stir (by hand) until well combined and then gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes.
  • When ready to bake, prepare your baking sheet with your non-stick baking mat or parchment paper. Take 1 heaped tablespoon of dough (or use your cookie scooper), use your finger to make a well or indentation in the center of the dough; fill the well with your dulce de leche and then top it up with more flattened cookie dough so you can seal the edges of the cookie.
  • Sprinkle with sea salt and bake for about 10 minutes.

    I am a major peanut butter cookie junkie. I have even been known to put peanut butter filling between two peanut butter cookies to make a cookie sandwich. Loaded with fat, but I don’t care. 🙂

    Now that I’ve seen this cookie…I’m unsteady about my favorite. BUT – if I have to choose one prior to making these, I would have to say Nutella stuffed chocolate chip cookies with browned butter and Fleur de Sel

    One of my favorite cookies is a cranberry ginger cookie I discovered last November…my friends went nuts for them. But any cookie with caramel or dulce de leche is a close second!

    Lady, my mouth dropped open when I first saw all the photos of these cookies. Damn, I love chocolate and caramel together. The pic of the bitten cookie with dulce de leche oozing out is the best food porn ever. This way of making dulce de leche sounds a hundred times safer than the “heating a can in boiling water on the stovetop” version. If I heated a can, my luck would guarantee that it exploded in my face. Your way might take longer but I don’t see third degree burns in my future. Score!

    I´m so glad you made your own dulce de leche. With chocolate is a perfect combination, which we have been using forever here as birthday cake flavors. I like how it oozes out of the cookies Alice! So tempting. I have the exact same silpat mats, four of them, that I bought more than 12 years ago. An amazing tool, especially for things with caramel. Have a great week!

    Chewy, crispy, gooey chocolate chip cookies are my favorite. Although I am not a recent transplant to the city of Seattle, and its been a quite a process to embrace the this city’s culture and its gray skies and rain. I discovered your blog thru twitter just recently and it has been a joy to read in helping me appreciate Seattle.
