Caramel centred cookies

As so as I saw these, I knew I just had to bake them. With oozing nutella and caramel, with a touch of sea salt making it liked salted caramel(which is probably the my most favourite food, in the whole wide world). 

The salt is of course optional: Both of my sisters, to my annoyance took the salt off. You could easily change the chocolate spread inside with a nut free spread if you have allergies, or one with a different nut. 

For the caramel I used a square of Cadburys chocolate with caramel, but there are plenty of other caramel centred chocolates or you could try a salted caramel/caramel sauce: Make sure its a thick sauce or you seal the edges really well.
