Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened (brown 1 stick for deeper flavor, optional)

¾ cup brown sugar
-
¼ cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs (room temp)

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt
-
½ cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or preferred)
-
12–14 chocolate squares/truffles (for filling)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven – 350°F (175°C). Line trays with parchment.
-
Cream butter & sugars – Beat until fluffy, 2–3 min.
-
Add eggs & vanilla – Mix well.
-
Whisk dry ingredients – Flour, baking soda, salt in a separate bowl.
-
Combine gently – Add dry mix to wet, just until blended.
-
Fold in chips – Stir in chocolate chips.
-
Chill dough – Cover and refrigerate 15–20 min.

Notes
-
Use chocolate bars or truffles for a gooey core (chips won’t melt as well).
-
Chill the dough—no skipping! It keeps the cookies thick and chewy.
