Chocolate Lava Brownie Cookies 🍫🍪
Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter 🧈
12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips 🍫
1/2 cup granulated sugar 🍬
1/2 cup packed brown sugar 🍂
2 large eggs 🥚
1 tsp vanilla extract 🌿
1 cup all-purpose flour 🌾
1/4 cup cocoa powder ☕
1 tsp baking powder 🥄
1/2 tsp salt 🧂
Extra chocolate chips for filling 🍫
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring until it’s all smooth. Let that delicious mix cool down a bit.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir in your cooled chocolate mixture until everything is well combined.
4. Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold until it's all mixed together beautifully.
5. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. This will make it easier to handle! Once chilled, roll the dough into balls about 1.5 inches in diameter.
6. Press a few extra chocolate chips into the center of each ball to create that gooey molten core. Seal the dough around those chips and place the balls on your prepared baking sheet.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the tops look glossy and cracked while the centers are still soft. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool slightly.
Enjoy your warm, gooey Chocolate Lava Brownie Cookies! 🍪✨
