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

    Cup of Yum
  1. First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. 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.
  3. Then, add in both eggs and vanilla. Stir to combine.
  4. Add in flour, baking soda and sea salt. Stir until a thick dough is formed.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips.
  6. Use a large spoon to scoop out balls of dough. Flatten each ball of dough. Place on lined pan.
  7. Place an unwrapped chocolate in the middle of each flatten ball.
  8. 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.
  9. Bake for 10 minutes or until edges are very slightly golden and the middles are barely set.
  10. 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.
