Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 250g all-purpose flour
- 100g brown sugar
- 100g granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 115g unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 200g chocolate chips
- 12 chocolate truffles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer on medium speed (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, beating until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips gently using a spatula, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
- Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and flatten it into a disk.
- Place one chocolate truffle in the center of the dough disk, then carefully wrap the dough around the truffle, completely encasing it.
- Roll the stuffed dough into a smooth ball, ensuring the truffle is fully sealed inside.
- Place the stuffed cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Allow cookies to set for an additional 10-15 minutes before serving to ensure the truffle center is stable.
Tips
- Ensure your butter is softened but not melted for the perfect cookie texture.
- Chill the truffles for 15-20 minutes before stuffing to make them easier to handle.
- Use a light touch when wrapping dough around the truffle to prevent cracking.
- For uniform cookies, use a cookie scoop to measure consistent dough portions.
- Don't overbake - the cookies should look slightly underdone when you remove them from the oven.
- Let cookies cool completely to allow the truffle center to set properly.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle some sea salt on top before baking for a gourmet finish.
