CHOCOLATE LAVA COOKIES
(The pictures don't do them justice, I can never photograph chocolate, just looks boring...oh, but it's not!)
Why do I collect recipes that are full rich chocolate with gooey dark chocolaty centers oozing out? Do we really have to ask this question?
You bite into these chocolate cookies and out oozes dark chocolate perfectness! These cookies are delicious and they are perfect to bring to an event or something because they are decadent and rich just like the Lava Cakes, but they are portable! If you like chocolate, you will love these!
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup butter, 2 cubes
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup cocoa
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chunks (I like the kind in the huge bar from Trader Joe's)
Cream the butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat together. Mix in dry ingredients and roll into 1” balls. Put a thumbprint in cookie and fill with a chunk of chocolate. Cover with dough and bake. The tops should be soft when you take them out. Use good quality chocolate for the filling...don’t use chocolate chips- they won't stay gooey! The centers will stay soft and gooey for several hours so these are the best eaten the day you bake them. ENJOY!
Can you tell, my kiddos are starting to LOVE posing for pictures? They crack me up!
