Ingredients List
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- Additional chocolate chips for filling
Instructions
Step 1 – Preheat Oven:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2 – Melt Butter & Chocolate:
In a saucepan, melt the butter and chocolate chips together. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Step 3 – Make the Dough:
In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir this into the cooled chocolate mixture.
Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Fold until the mixture is fully combined.
Step 4 – Chill & Fill:
Chill the dough in the fridge for about 15 minutes to firm it up.
Form dough balls and insert extra chocolate chips in the center of each ball, then place them on the baking sheet.
Step 5 – Bake:
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the tops are glossy and cracked. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips & Notes
- Molten Center Tip: Ensure the extra chocolate chips in the center remain gooey by not overbaking the cookies. The tops should crack, but the centers should still be soft and molten.
- Storage: Store these cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days for the best texture.
- Chocolate Add-ins: Try using milk or dark chocolate chips for an extra flavor twist.
