Chocolate cookies

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.

Ingredients:

9 tbsp butter
130g
5 oz powdered sugar
140g
2 yolks
33g
2 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
250g
5 tbsp dry cocoa powder
27g
1/2 oz chocolate candies
14g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugar:
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.
3. Add the Egg Yolks:
Add the egg yolks to the butter-sugar mixture one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients:
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.
5. Mix the Dry and Wet Ingredients:
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.
6. Form the Cookies:
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.
7. Bake:
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.
8. Cool:
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve and Enjoy:
Enjoy these delightful chocolate cookies with their surprise soft chocolate centers. Perfect with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee!

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.

With their soft, gooey centers and rich cocoa flavor, these chocolate cookies are a decadent treat that’s sure to please any palate. Simple to make and incredibly satisfying, they are perfect for sharing with family and friends or enjoying with a cup of coffee or milk.
