Description

Delightful cookies that combine rich chocolate flavor with a gooey filling, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup softened butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.

  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes, then remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool slightly.
  6. Fill each indentation with chocolate ganache or melted chocolate and let the cookies cool completely before serving.
