Ingredients
3 sticks (1 1/2 cups) salted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups light brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 eggs, at room temperature
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 ounces milk chocolate, melted
2 tablespoons salted butter (for coating)
3 tablespoons cinnamon sugar (for coating)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and brown sugar until creamy and fluffy.
- Mix in the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
- Scoop out portions of dough, flatten slightly, and spoon a small amount of melted milk chocolate into the center. Fold the dough around the chocolate and roll into a ball to seal.
- Brush each dough ball lightly with melted butter and roll in cinnamon sugar.
- Place cookies on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until edges are set and lightly golden.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm for the ultimate gooey chocolate center.
Notes
Use dark or semi-sweet chocolate instead of milk chocolate for a richer taste.
Stuff cookies with Nutella, caramel, or peanut butter cups for variation.
Do not overbake; cookies should look slightly soft in the center when removed from the oven.
Store with a slice of bread in the container to keep cookies soft.
Freeze baked or unbaked cookies for longer storage.
