Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Base

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Filling

  • Extra chocolate chips for filling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
  2. Melt Butter and Chocolate: Melt the unsalted butter and 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips together using a double boiler or microwave in short intervals. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and let it cool slightly before using in the batter.
  3. Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined. Stir the cooled chocolate mixture into the wet ingredients until smooth. Sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, then gently fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  4. Chill and Shape the Dough: Refrigerate the dough for 15 minutes to make it easier to handle. Scoop the dough into equal portions, flatten each slightly, place a few extra chocolate chips in the center, then wrap the dough around the chips and roll into a ball to encase the filling.
  5. Bake and Cool: Place the cookie balls on the prepared baking sheet with enough space between them. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the tops are glossy and cracked but the centers remain soft and gooey. Allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the tray before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra gooey center, use larger chocolate chips or chunks as the filling.
  • Do not overbake to maintain the soft, molten texture inside.
  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate with dark chocolate for a richer taste.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Use parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
