Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips and butter together in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth and well combined.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and powdered sugar until fully incorporated.

  4. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the chocolate mixture, and whisk until the eggs are fully combined.

  5. Gradually fold the flour mixture into the chocolate mixture until you have a thick and glossy batter.

  6. Chill the batter in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to allow it to firm up slightly.

  7. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop out portions of the batter and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.

  8. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.

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

  10. Serve the Dark Chocolate Lava Cookies warm with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra decadent treat!
