Named for the melty dark chocolate that oozes out of the top, these dark chocolate lava cookies are made out of a healthy sugar cookie type base, that are then topped with one of my favorite quality dark chocolate bars that creates a combo that is hard to resist.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 2 tbsp tahini
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup cane sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 5 JoJo’s Go Hawaiian Chocolate bars (this is what I used, I got two squares out of each bar. You can use any chocolate bar you like!).
Instructions
- Soften your coconut oil, combine with your sugars in a mixer and beat on medium speed until combined.
- One by one add your egg, tahini, baking powder, salt, and finally flour, mix until a dough forms.
- Roll into 9 even balls, place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, and then place in the fridge while you preheat your oven to 350F. (or if you already preheated, just refrigerate for 10-15 minutes).
- Bake for 9-13 minutes, until edges start to turn golden brown but they still look fairly soft.
- Take the cookies out of the oven and push one square of chocolate into the middle of each. After doing all of them once, go back and push each piece of chocolate a little more (this gets the chocolate that has melted to ooze a little, creating the fun lava effect!).
- Eat immediately or let cool (but these are so good warm I highly suggest at least eating one while they are fresh :P)
