Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 12 pieces of high-quality chocolate chunks or squares (for the molten center)

Instructions

  1. Melt the Chocolate and Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
  2. Prepare the Sugar and Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar-egg mixture. In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  4. Form the Cookie Dough: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough. Flatten each portion slightly, place a chocolate chunk or square in the center, and fold the dough around it to form a ball. Ensure the chocolate piece is fully enclosed.
  5. Bake the Cookies: Place the dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers appear slightly soft.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm to enjoy the molten center.

Notes

  • Chilling the Dough: If the dough seems too soft to handle, refrigerate it for 15 minutes before forming the cookies.
  • Alternative Fillings: For a twist, consider filling the cookies with caramel squares, peanut butter cups, or a spoonful of Nutella.
  • Storage: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. To reheat and achieve a molten center, microwave each cookie for 10-15 seconds before serving.
