Chocolate Filled Cookies
These Chocolate Filled Cookies are warm, soft, and chewy, boasting a delightful melted chocolate center. They're the perfect treat for cozy evenings and easy to make with a simple list of ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup chocolate chips (for filling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; stop as soon as the flour is incorporated.
- Using a tablespoon or ice cream scoop, portion out the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each mound.
- Using your thumb or the back of a spoon, make an indentation in the center of each dough ball. Place a chocolate chip in this indentation, ensuring it is well-covered with dough.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use room temperature butter for better texture. Chill dough if your kitchen is warm. Experiment with different chocolate types for filling.
