FROM OUR TABLE TO YOURS: HOT CHOCOLATE MOLTEN COOKIES
Cozy up during chilly winter nights with these chocolate chunk cookies that taste like your favorite mug of vanilla hot chocolate!
6 tbsp salted butter 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips 3 large eggs, room temperature 1/2 cup granulated sugar 2 tbsp vanilla extract 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp kosher salt 6 oz dark or semi-sweet chocolate, chopped Flaky sea salt
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. 2. In the microwave, melt the butter and chocolate chips, together.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until bubbles form on top, about 2 minutes. Add in vanilla and melted chocolate, whisking until the mix looks glossy. Mix in the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chunks. Put the bowl in the freezer, let the dough sit for 30 minutes, until it is scoop-able. The batter should be like a thickened fudge. 4. Line a small baking sheet or plate with parchment pape. Using a 1/4 cup measure cookie scoop, scoop the dough into balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Freeze for 15-30 minutes, until firm. 5. Pull the dough balls out of the freezer. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Space the cookies 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-12 minutes or until the cookies start to set around the edges, the centers should be a little doughy. Let cool on the pan. 6. Sprinkle with sea salt. Serve with hot chocolate and whipped cream.
