Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 ounces dark chocolate chunks or chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
- Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt, and gently fold everything together using a spatula. Don’t overmix—just stir until all the dry ingredients disappear.
- Stir in half of the dark chocolate chunks or chips.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized blobs of dough onto your prepared tray, spacing them out so they have room to spread.
- Press a few extra chocolate chunks into the center of each dough mound—this is your “lava” core!
- Bake for 9-11 minutes. The cookies will look slightly underbaked in the center; that’s exactly what you want for the gooey core.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack. Enjoy warm for the ultimate lava effect!
Notes
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of salted caramel sauce for an indulgent treat.
