Description
Indulge in these decadent Chocolate Lava Brownie Cookies that feature a gooey chocolate center.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate or white chocolate chips (for the lava center)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the sugar mixture, stirring until smooth.
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until just combined.
- Gently fold in the milk chocolate or white chocolate chips.
- Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Do not overbake.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
- Add a pinch of espresso powder to the batter for a mocha twist.
