Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar (for rolling)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for rolling)
1 cup chocolate chips or chocolate chunks (for stuffing)
Directions:
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Dough:
Beat the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and melted butter until frothy and light in a large basin.
Gradually add one egg at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients:
Mix the flour, baking soda, salt, and two tablespoons of ground cinnamon in a separate basin.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring only until mixed.
Prepare Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture:
Combine 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon for rolling in a small bowl.
Form and Stuff the Cookies:
Take a tablespoon of dough and flatten it.
Place a few chocolate chips or a chocolate chunk in the center of the flattened dough.
Fold the dough around the chocolate to seal it inside, forming a ball.
Roll and Bake:
Roll each stuffed dough ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges start to develop a light golden color.
Cool:
After a few minutes on the baking sheet, transfer the cookies to a wire rack and allow them cool fully.
