Ingredients

  • 1 cup cold butter
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, tightly packed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 ¼ cups flour, gluten free 1 to 1 or all purpose
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • pinch sea salt, optional
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 18 chocolates, such as Dove

Instructions 

  • First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, add cold butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar. Beat for 2 to 3 minutes or until no clumps of butter remain.
  • Then, add in both eggs and vanilla. Stir to combine.
  • Add in flour, baking soda and sea salt. Stir until a thick dough is formed.
  • Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Use a large spoon to scoop out balls of dough. Flatten each ball of dough. Place on lined pan.
  • Place an unwrapped chocolate in the middle of each flatten ball.
  • Then, place a smaller flattened ball of dough on top of the chocolate. Use hands to wrap cookie dough around each chocolate, until fully enclosed.
  • Bake for 10 minutes or until edges are very slightly golden and the middles are barely set.
  • Finally, remove cookies from oven. Allow cookies to cool for 10 minutes on pan before carefully transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

  • Use cold butter straight from the fridge.
  • If using unsalted butter, add a pinch of sea salt if desired.
  • Beat butter and sugars until no clumps of butter remain.
  • Both all purpose flour and gluten free 1 to 1 flour work well.
  • Cookie dough will be thick.
  • Any type of chocolates work: Dove chocolates, Hershey kisses, even peanut butter cups.
  • Be sure cookie dough fully encloses the chocolate.
  • Bake until cookies look barely set in the middle.  They are meant to be gooey!
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
  • These cookies freeze well.
