Ingredients:
- Cookie Dough:
- 100g melted butter
- 165g sugar
- 1 egg
- 230g all-purpose flour
- 150g milk chocolate chips
- Brownie Batter:
- 2 eggs
- 90g all-purpose flour
- 90g sugar
- 50g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 140g dark chocolate
- 130g butter
Instructions:
- For the cookie dough, mix the melted butter with the sugar. Add the egg and blend well. Stir in the flour and chocolate chips until combined. Chill the dough in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- For the brownie batter, start by melting the butter and dark chocolate together. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar, then mix in the melted chocolate. Sift in the flour and cocoa powder, whisking until smooth. Refrigerate the batter for 30 minutes.
- Form small balls of the chilled brownie batter and freeze them on a baking sheet.
- Remove both doughs from the fridge/freezer. Wrap a cookie dough portion around a frozen brownie ball, ensuring the brownie center is completely enclosed.
- Arrange the stuffed cookies on a baking tray (bake in batches if necessary due to oven size). Bake at 180°C for 15 minutes.
- Five minutes before the end of baking, gently flatten each cookie with a flat wooden spatula, then cover each with a bowl to shape them into perfect rounds. Return to the oven to finish baking.
Enjoy these heavenly brownie-stuffed cookies, a true chocolate lover's dream with a surprise molten heart that melts with every bite!
