Instructions

  • First, to make the blonde chocolate molded centers, gently melt 8.8oz (250g) of blonde chocolate over a double boiler or with a microwave. Then pour the melted chocolate into 1tsp (5ml) candy molds. Place the molds into the fridge to harden. This should make between 45-50 candies depending on drips and/or how clean you can get the bowl. (If you decide to make your own blonde chocolate instead of purchasing it, see the FAQs for instructions)
  • Then, add the butter to a small saucepan on medium heat. Make sure to continuously stir or swirl the pan as the butter melts and then froths. When you see the milk solids turn a light brown color, turn off the stove and move the pan from the heat. The butter will continue to cook and should end up a nice warm brown. Let it cool just enough to pour into a small bowl or container and place the browned butter in the refrigerator to re-harden for about 30-45 minutes. You don't want it to completely harden, but it should be pretty close. It's best if the butter is still a paste consistency when you add it to the dough.
  • While the butter and chocolate harden, measure out the oats and the butterscotch. Then, combine the flour, malted milk, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in another small bowl. Set these aside too.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with whisk attachment, add in the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and the eggs. Turn the mixer to medium speed until the egg and sugar start to lighten considerably in color, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Turn down the mixer to low and switch out the whisk for a beater attachment. Add in the cooled browned butter and packed brown sugar. Once that incorporates, turn off the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Turn it back on low and add in the flour mixture a little bit at a time. Shut off the machine as soon as you no longer see loose flour in the mixing bowl. Do not overmix. Fold the butterscotch and oats into the dough with a spatula.
  • Once that is complete, scoop out the cookies using a #50, 1.6in (4cm) cookie scoop, onto a silicone mat lined baking sheet. The scoop should hold roughly 1.3tbsp or 25g of dough and should yield roughly 48 cookies.
  • From there, press each dough ball into a bowl shape and place the blonde chocolate into the center. Envelop the chocolate entirely with cookie dough and shape back into a ball. Once all of the blonde chocolate stuffed scotchie cookies are filled and reshaped, cover the baking sheet with cling wrap and place them in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours and up to 24 hours.
  • Next, preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Place some chilled cookies, with at least 2in (5cm) of space between them, on a separate tray and put the cookies not being baked back into the fridge. Bake for 10-11 minutes. The edges of the cookies should just start to brown and the middle should be completely puffed and not look wet. Let cool for 5 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.

Notes

If you don’t want to make all the cookies at once Freeze the unbaked cookie dough balls for up to 3 months. Bake right out of the freezer for 14-15 minutes when you need a pick-me-up!
