Brownie Batter Stuffed Cookies

Freeze 1 hr, bake 12 min · Baked · Cookies · Makes 6 cookies

Brownie batter frozen solid, wrapped in chocolate chip cookie dough, and baked until the shell is golden but the center stays molten.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup fudgy brownie batter (butter, sugar, cocoa, egg, a little flour)
  • 1 lb chocolate chip cookie dough, chilled
  • Flaky sea salt, for finishing

Method

  1. Scoop brownie batter into 6 balls (~1 tbsp each); freeze solid, at least 1 hour.
  2. Flatten ~2.5 tbsp cookie dough into a disc in your palm.
  3. Place a frozen brownie ball in the center and wrap the dough around it, sealing the seams completely.
  4. Roll into a smooth ball; repeat for all 6.
  5. Bake at 375°F for 11–13 minutes, until the shell is golden but the center stays cool to the touch.
  6. Finish with a pinch of flaky salt while warm.
  7. Let cool 3–4 minutes before breaking open — the center is molten hot.

The center is intentionally underbaked and molten, like a lava cake — the egg is fully cooked through baking, but let cookies cool a few minutes before biting in; the filling is very hot.
