Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Hand Mixer
  • 2-inch scoop

Ingredients
  

For Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter (softened to room temperature)
  • 1 ¼ cup Packed Brown Sugar
  • ½ cup White Granulated Sugar
  • 2 Large Eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 Tbsp Corn Syrup
  • 2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 2 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour (sifted)
  • 1 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (sifted)
  • 2 tsp Cornstarch
  • 1 ½ tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp Salt

For Filling and Topping

  • Cold Hot Fudge Sauce
  • ¼ cup Powdered Sugar (for sifting)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cookie Dough:

  • Start by preheating your oven to 350ºF (180ºC) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, blend softened unsalted butter, packed brown sugar, and white granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
  • Then add eggs, one at a time, mixing until well incorporated after each addition. Blend in corn syrup and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
  • Next, sift in all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Carefully fold them into the wet mixture, avoiding overmixing, until a thick, rich chocolate dough forms.

Form and Fill the Cookies:

  • Using a 2-inch scoop, allocate scoops of dough on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced about 2 inches apart.
  • Create wells in each dough scoop, using the backside of the scooper and molding the sides gently to achieve a deeper, rounded shape.
  • Fill the wells with the frozen hot fudge sauce, using a teaspoon and filling about ¾ of the way full.
  • Seal the cookies; pinch the dough over the top of the filling, adding extra dough if needed, to ensure the hot fudge sauce is completely encased.

Baking and Finalizing:

  • Place the cookies in the preheated oven, and bake for 12-14 minutes or until the cookies are just set but still soft in the middle.
  • Once out of the oven, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  • Sift powdered sugar over the cookies while they’re still warm.

Serving Suggestion

  • Relish these warm Molten Lava Cookies with their gooey center along with a cold glass of milk or a scoop of your favorite ice cream for an exquisite dessert experience!
