Chocolate Lava Cookies 🍪 Yield: About 12-15 cookies Prep Time: 15 minutes (plus freezing time) Bake Time: 10-12 minutes Ingredients: For the Nutella filling: • ½ cup (120g) Nutella (chilled for easier handling) For the cookie dough: • ½ cup (115g) soft unsalted butter • ½ cup (100g) brown sugar • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar • 1 large egg • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract • 1 ¼ cups (160g) all-purpose flour • ¼ cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder • ½ teaspoon baking soda • ¼ teaspoon salt • ½ cup (90g) chocolate chips (optional) Instructions: Step 1: Prep the Nutella Filling 1. Line a small plate or tray with parchment paper. 2. Spoon 12-15 small dollops (about 1 teaspoon each) of Nutella onto the parchment paper. 3. Freeze for at least 30 minutes until firm. Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough 1. In a mixing bowl, cream together soft butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. 2. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until combined. 3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. 4. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms. 5. Fold in the chocolate chips (if using). Step 3: Stuff and Shape the Cookies 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. Take about 1 ½ tablespoons of cookie dough, flatten it in your palm, and place a frozen Nutella dollop in the center. 3. Wrap the dough around the Nutella and roll it into a smooth ball. 4. Place the stuffed cookie dough balls onto the baking sheet, leaving space between each. Step 4: Bake 1. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set but the center is slightly soft. 2. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Tips for Soft & Gooey Cookies: • Do not overbake! The cookies will continue to set as they cool. • Use room temperature butter (not melted) for the perfect soft texture. • If your dough is sticky, refrigerate it for 15-20 minutes before shaping.
