Liquid Chocolate Filled Cookies

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until smooth and well incorporated.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

6. Fold in the chocolate chips gently until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough into 12 equal-sized balls.

8. Take one portion of dough and flatten it slightly in the palm of your hand. Place a chilled chocolate truffle in the center and wrap the dough around it, rolling it into a ball to encase the truffle completely. Repeat with the remaining dough and truffles.

9. Arrange the filled cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each for spreading.

10. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.

11. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

12. Serve these Liquid Chocolate Filled Cookies warm to enjoy the luscious melty center or store them in an airtight container for future indulgence.
