Description

Chocolate Lava Brownie Cookies combine the best of two indulgent treats: the gooey richness of molten lava cake and the chewy, fudgy bite of a classic brownie. With a crisp exterior and molten chocolate center, they’re the perfect dessert for impressing guests or treating yourself.

Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

4 oz semi-sweet or dark chocolate bar, cut into chunks (for stuffing)

Instructions

In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of dough and flatten slightly.
Place a chocolate chunk in the center and fold dough around it to seal.
Roll into a ball and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 9–11 minutes, until edges are set.
Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
