Ingredients
Scale
Dough:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Fillings:
- 12 chocolate truffles or squares (for molten centers)
- Optional powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt butter and chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips together in the microwave, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Combine wet ingredients: Whisk in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla until glossy and combined.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Chill dough: Chill the dough for 20–30 minutes until slightly firm.
- Assemble cookies: Scoop dough, place a chocolate truffle in the center, wrap dough around it, and seal the edges. Place on baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake for 9–11 minutes until edges are set but centers are still soft.
- Cool and serve: Cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm.
Notes
- For an extra gooey center, avoid overbaking.
- Best enjoyed warm; reheat in the microwave for 10–15 seconds to restore the molten center.
