Description
These Cauldron Cookies are a delightfully spooky and delicious Halloween treat! They feature a rich, fudgy interior with a molten chocolate center, dusted with powdery sugar for a magical, cauldron-like effect.
Ingredients
– 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
1. – Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. – In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
3. – Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined.
4. – In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. – Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
6. – Scoop dough by the tablespoon and place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. – Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
8. – Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For an even more decadent treat, try adding a small spoonful of Nutella or caramel to the center of each cookie before baking. Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
