Ingredients
- For the Cookies:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks
- Optional Lava Center:
- 6 small chocolate truffles or squares of chocolate per cookie
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a bowl, whisk melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add dry ingredients: Fold in flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
- Shape cookies: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough. If using truffles, flatten dough, place chocolate in center, and wrap dough around to seal. Place on baking sheet.
- Bake: 10–12 minutes, until edges are set but centers are soft. Do not overbake—cookies should be gooey.
- Cool & enjoy: Let cool 5 minutes on the sheet, then transfer to a plate. Serve warm for a molten chocolate center.
Notes
- For extra gooey centers, slightly underbake by 1–2 minutes.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Freeze unbaked dough for quick chocolate lava cookies anytime.
- Use flavored truffles (peanut butter, caramel, or dark chocolate) for a twist.
