Servings 14 cookies
Calories 415kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup Dutch processed cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
Filling and Topping
- 1 cup hot fudge sauce not warm, preferably cold
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
- Place a piece of wax paper on a plate. Use a 1 tablespoon sized cookie scoop or a spoon, to portion the hot fudge onto the plate. Freeze for 10-20 minutes or until cold. This will help the hot fudge not be so sticky, and makes it easier to stuff the cookies.
- Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment cream the butter, brown sugar, and sugar on medium speed for 1-2 minutes. Add the eggs, corn syrup, and vanilla extract and mix until combined. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Add the flour, cocoa, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Mix until the dough comes together.
- Using a ¼ cup measuring spoon portion the dough into round balls. Using a tablespoon, press an indentation into each ball. Fill the indent with a frozen hot fudge, and gently wrap the cookie dough around the hot fudge.
- Place 6 hot fudge filled cookie dough balls on a baking sheet. Using the palm of your hand press down on each ball until it creates a thick disk.
- Bake for 10-11 minutes or until edges are set and the center is no longer shiny.
- Remove from oven. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Dust each cookie with some powdered sugar and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
After storing, microwave cookies for 10 seconds to get the insides nice and warm again.
You can use homemade hot fudge sauce, or store bought.
