Lava Cookie (Printable Version)

# What You’ll Need:

01 - 1/2 tsp salt.
02 - 1 tsp baking powder.
03 - 1/4 cup cocoa powder.
04 - 1 cup all-purpose flour.
05 - 1 tsp vanilla extract.
06 - 2 large eggs.
07 - 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed.
08 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
09 - 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips, keep some for the middle.
10 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter.

# Steps To Make It:

01 - After baking, let them sit on the tray for 5 minutes. Then, move them gently over to a wire rack.
02 - Slide them in the oven for about 10-12 minutes. Stop when their tops look shiny and have cracks.
03 - Scoop dough into balls, pushing a few extra chocolate chips right inside each one.
04 - Pop the dough in the fridge for 15 minutes so it gets a bit firmer.
05 - Toss in flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt by sifting them. Gently fold things together.
06 - Beat together your sugars with eggs and vanilla. Pour it all into your buttery chocolate mix.
07 - Gently melt unsalted butter with chocolate chips. Let it cool off for a short bit.
08 - Set your oven to 350°F so it's ready to go.

# Extra Notes:

01 - Pick a higher-end dark chocolate for deeper taste.
02 - Try swapping in peanut butter cups or caramel for the centers.
03 - Take them out while they're a little underdone if you want gooey middles.
04 - Shape and freeze dough balls to bake later if you want!
