What's better than a chocolate chip cookie? Chocolate stuffed cookies! These soft chocolate cookies have melted chocolate in every bite. I'm showing you the trick for making the best stuffed cookies that everyone will love.
With a teaspoon or mini ice cream scoop make 6 balls of chocolate cream spread and place them on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet, freeze them while preparing the cookie dough.
In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and cornstarch.
In a large bowl beat the sugar and butter until fluffy approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Add the vanilla, egg and egg yolk. Beat until smooth.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and beat until almost combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Scoop about 3 tablespoons of cookie dough, flatten with your fingers and place a frozen chocolate ball in the middle. Scoop another 3 tablespoon of dough on top and with your fingers wrap the dough completely around the chocolate spread and form into a ball.
Place the balls on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C).
Remove the cookies from the fridge and bake cookies in the pre-heated oven for 11 to 13 minutes. Let cool 5 to 10 minutes and serve warm. Enjoy!
Notes
You can freeze the chocolate balls ahead of time and have them in the freezer when you're ready to make the cookies. Once they're frozen, store the cookies in a freezer bag until you're ready to use them.Be careful not to overbake the cookies. They are done when they are lightly golden around the edges.These chocolate stuffed cookies will keep well in an airtight container for three to four days. You can warm them in the microwave for a few seconds so the filling is melted.
