Chocolate cookies are a delightful treat that combines a rich, buttery cookie with a melt-in-your-mouth chocolate center. Perfect for chocolate lovers and ideal for any occasion, these cookies are sure to be a hit. Follow this simple recipe to create these indulgent delights in your own kitchen.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 2 to 3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
Add the egg yolks to the butter-sugar mixture one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and dry cocoa powder. Make sure they are well combined to ensure even distribution of the cocoa.
Gradually add the flour-cocoa mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Scoop out about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Flatten the ball slightly with your hands, and press one chocolate candy into the center. Wrap the dough around the candy to enclose it completely and reshape it into a ball. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly cracked.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chocolate cookies FAQ:
Bake the chocolate cookies in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes. The cookies are done when the edges are set and the tops look slightly cracked.
If your cookie dough is too dry, try adding a teaspoon of milk or melted butter to moisten it. Mix gently until it comes together without overmixing.
You can substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend or whole wheat flour, but be aware that this may alter the texture and flavor. Adjustments in liquid may also be necessary.
Store the chocolate cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, consider freezing them in a sealed bag for up to three months.
You can use any variety of chocolate candies, such as chocolate chips, caramel-filled, or nut-filled chocolates, depending on your preference. Just ensure they can withstand baking.
Tips:
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for a more intense chocolate flavor.
- Refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading.
- Make sure the chocolate candies used for the centers are of good quality for the best taste.
- Use a cookie scoop to ensure even-sized cookies, which will bake more evenly.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
