Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 1 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 150 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 12 pieces Dark chocolate squares (for filling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Scoop out a tablespoon of dough, flatten it slightly, and place one piece of dark chocolate square in the center. Wrap the dough around the chocolate square, ensuring it is completely sealed.
Repeat with the remaining dough and chocolate squares, placing the cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are set and the tops appear slightly cracked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm for an ooey-gooey lava center or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
