Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 32 minutes
Yield: 10 cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (108g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup (75g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp red gel food coloring
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch process)
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1 1/3 cup (175g) all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup Chocolate SunButter
- White candy melts (or white chocolate), for drizzling
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugars together using a hand or stand mixer with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg, vanilla, and red gel food coloring. Mix until well combined.
- Scrape down the bowl and add the cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add in the flour, mixing gently with a rubber spatula until the dough is just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, line a plate with parchment paper and dollop heaping teaspoons of Chocolate SunButter. Freeze until solid.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a large cookie scoop (about 3 tablespoons), scoop the dough and flatten it in your palm. Place a frozen Chocolate SunButter dollop in the center and seal the dough around it.
- Return the remaining dough to the refrigerator and the Chocolate SunButter to the freezer between batches.
- Arrange 4 stuffed cookie dough balls on the baking sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are dry and the centers are slightly underdone.
- After baking, use the inside curve of a fork to nudge the sides for uniform cookies. Let them sit for a couple of minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- Once cooled, melt the candy melts and drizzle over the cookies. Add sprinkles if desired. Enjoy!
