Lava Cookies

Happy Monday, my Everyday Friends.

We are kicking the week off here at

The Everyday Home is a might sweet way!

Mary Beth is here with a recipe for

Hot Fudge Filled Lava Cookies.

Oh my!

Hi everyone!

It’s me, Mary Beth, from Cupcakes and Crinoline

back today with another recipe for you.  

If you’ve ever eaten a lava cake this is similar ~

except smaller so you don’t feel as guilty when

you eat one.  

I have a thing for sweets….if you know me,

you know that and these are a new favorite

of mine and my family.  As a matter of fact when

I was editing these pictures my boys all were asking

for them again – actually, they were complaining that

when I make something for the blog I never make

it again….nag, nag, nag.  I think I will make

these again, though, because they were so easy

and so tasty!

These are a basic cookie recipe ~

it’s my favorite chocolate chip recipe cookie minus

the chocolate chips BUT you can easily add chips

if you want more of a chocolate punch.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup salted butter, softened (not melted)

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 3/4 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Purchased small jar of hot fudge topping 

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.  

Coat the inside pockets of a muffin tin with butter

(you can also use non-stick cooking spray if you prefer).

Cream together butter, brown sugar, and the

granulated sugar until fluffy.  I use my mixer for

this but if you want to do it by hand you certainly

can (I don’t have enough muscle power for that!).

Add in egg and vanilla and mix until just blended.

In a separate bowl combine flour, salt and

baking soda and slowly add to the butter mixture

about 1/2 cup at a time.  

Using your hands pull out about 1 heaping

tablespoon of cookie mixture at a time,

roll into a ball…..

…and then flatten in the muffin tin.  

Do this for all 12 muffin wells.

Spoon 1 teaspoon of hot fudge topping onto

the center of each cookie.

Once again, roll 1 heaping tablespoon of cookie

dough into a ball, flatten with your fingers and

place on top of the hot fudge.

Bake for approximately 15 minutes, until golden brown.  

Remove from oven and cool on a cooling rack

for 15 minutes.  Run a knife around the edge of

the cookie to release it from the tin and serve warm…

or, if the cookies are fully cooled heat in the

microwave for 15 seconds just to get everything

all nice and warm again.
