Cookie Dough Stuffed Chocolate Cookies Recipe

Start by preparing the chocolate chip cookie dough. In a medium bowl, cream together butter and sugars. Add milk and vanilla extract and stir until incorporated. Add flour and salt and mix until smooth. Fold in chocolate chips. Roll cookie dough into 14 equal balls (about 1 tablespoon of dough each) and place on a cookie sheet or plate. You might have additional cookie dough leftover, which you can keep for later. Place cookie balls into the freezer while you prepare the chocolate cookie dough.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Combine semisweet chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl. Melt in the microwave and stir to combine. Let sit for 5 minutes. Mix in eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla and stir until incorporated. Add flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Stir until a smooth dough forms. Fold in chocolate chips.

Remove cookie dough balls from the freezer and envelope each ball with the chocolate cookie dough, about 2-3 tablespoons per cookie. Place on the cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining dough. Place in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until cookies appear to be set. Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before transferring cookies to wire racks to cool completely. Enjoy!
