Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 3/4 cups sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 6 – 8 oz chocolate chunks or chocolate ganache
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter gently in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop and let cool.
- Combine the melted butter and sugar in a large bowl until smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each.
- Stir in the vanilla extract until well incorporated.
- Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, and gently fold until just combined.
- Scoop about 1.5 to 2 tablespoons of dough, flatten it slightly, and place a piece of chocolate or ganache in the center.
- Wrap the dough around the chocolate and roll it into a ball.
- Bake for 9-12 minutes until edges are set but centers are soft.
- Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for a few moments before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
Use high-quality chocolate for the center for the best flavor. Allow melted butter to cool to avoid cooking the eggs.
