Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 12 chocolate squares or chunks, about 1 ounce each
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 12 cup muffin pan.
- In a mixing bowl, cream softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Divide dough evenly into 12 portions and press each portion into the muffin cups, forming a cup shape with a small indentation in the center.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are set and centers remain soft.
- Immediately press one chocolate square into the center of each hot cookie cup and allow it to melt.
- Let cool slightly before removing from the pan, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- Do not overbake to keep the centers soft and tender.
- Use good quality chocolate for the best molten texture.
- Lightly grease the muffin pan to prevent sticking.
- Reheat for 10 to 15 seconds in the microwave to restore the gooey center.
