Get the Recipe: Chocolate Lava Cookies
Deep, dark, and dangerously fudgy. These cookies offer a sophisticated crunch followed by a luxurious molten center. Perfectly balanced with coconut sugar and dark chocolate, they’re the high-end bakery treat you can make right at home.
Ingredients
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 ½ cups coconut sugar, or light brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 ½ cups gluten free flour, see note
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 12 squares of chocolate
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer, beat the butter and coconut sugar. Beat for 2 to 3 minutes or until no clumps of butter remain.
- Add in eggs and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
- Mix in the flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda. Stir until a thick dough is formed.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop out balls of dough with a cookie scoop. Flatten each ball of dough and place a chocolate square in the center. Fold up the edges, fully enclosing each square of chocolate.
- Place on the baking pan. Bake for 12 to 13 minutes, or until cookies look set around the edges, but a little gooey in the center.
- Finally, allow them to cool for 10 minutes on the pan before serving!
Notes
- If you are not gluten free, feel free to use all purpose flour.
- Both coconut sugar and light brown sugar work well.
- The cookie dough will be pretty thick.
- You can use any chocolate squares. I love Hu Kitchen, but a simple Dove chocolate works well too.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
