Superlative Cookies (Brown butter, Sea salt, Nutella-stuffed)

For a party I went to yesterday, I made some cookies. I specifically looked around for a "decadent" recipe, and I totally found one. These are Nutella-Stuffed Brown Butter + Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookies.
I'd never heard of brown butter before, at least that I can recall. Definitely never used it as an ingredient. It's simple, but so amazing. Its smell alone, during preparation, left me sure these would be amazing cookies. In the final product, I think the Nutella overpowers the rest of the cookie, so I might try again without that. The brown butter also didn't cream like I'm used to, but the dough started to come together in a familiar manner once the eggs were added.
I probably slightly under-baked most of these. The process of stuffing the cookies left them each bigger than I'd normally make, plus the Nutella itself added some thermal mass, but they still all came out scrumptious!
