Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookie Dough:

  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt

For the Filling:

  • ½ cup (90g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Melt the Chocolate and Butter:
    • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted. Let cool slightly.
  2. Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients:
    • Slowly stir the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture until fully incorporated.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  4. Chill the Dough:
    • Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm enough to handle.
  5. Shape the Cookies:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
    • Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and flatten slightly in your palm. Place a few chocolate chips in the center, then fold the dough around the chips to form a ball. Make sure the chocolate is fully enclosed.
  6. Bake:
    • Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
    • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are crackly. The centers should still look slightly underdone.
  7. Cool and Serve:
    • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm to enjoy the gooey chocolate center.

Notes

  • For an extra molten center, freeze the chocolate chips for the filling before wrapping them in dough.
  • These cookies are best served warm but can be reheated in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to restore their gooey centers.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
