Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 24 pieces chocolate truffles or mini chocolate squares (for the surprise center)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of cookie dough and flatten it slightly in your hands. Place one chocolate truffle or mini chocolate square in the center, then mold the dough around it to completely cover the chocolate, forming a ball.
Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly underbaked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies warm or at room temperature to enjoy the gooey chocolate surprise inside!
