Chocolate Lava Brownie Cookies
A delightful treat that combines the rich flavors of brownies with the fun of cookies, featuring a gooey, melted chocolate center.
Ingredients
For the cookie dough
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips plus additional for filling
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
Baking
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and 12 oz of chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture to the sugar and egg mixture, stirring until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough, place a few additional chocolate chips in the center, and cover with another tablespoon of dough, sealing the edges to form a ball.
- Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Best served warm, right out of the oven. Can be paired with vanilla ice cream or drizzled with chocolate sauce.
