Ingredients
Cookie Dough:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (plus extra for filling)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and 1 cup of chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted chocolate mixture with the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until glossy and thick.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a soft dough forms.
- Form Cookies: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough, place chocolate chips in the center, roll and seal the dough around the chips to form a ball. Place on the baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough.
- Bake: Bake for 9–11 minutes until edges are set and centers look slightly soft. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Serve warm for a gooey lava center.
- Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies.
