Gooey Chocolate-Filled Cocoa Cookies
Gooey chocolate-filled cocoa cookies are all the richness of a brownie, with the oozy-ness of a molten lava cake.
What’s better than double chocolate chip cookies?
Why, gooey chocolate-filled cocoa cookies, of course!
On the outside, they’re completely unassuming.
Regular, everyday round chocolate disks.
Nothin’ special.
But then…
Then you take a bite, and what’s inside separates this cookie from its chocolate cake-like counterparts.
We’re talking gooey chocolate filled cocoa cookies here, people!
The richness of a brownie, with the oozy-ness of a molten lava cake.
It’s something special.
Perhaps only bested by an oozy caramel center, but we’ll leave that for another day.
GOOEY CHOCOLATE-FILLED COCOA COOKIES.
I’ll take two.
Or four.
Or all of them.
Here are some tools I use for cookie baking:
