Ingredients:
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.
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.
