INSTRUCTIONS For Quick N Easy Chocolate filled cookies

⭐First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.

⭐In the bowl of a stand mixer, add cold butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar. Beat for 2 to 3 minutes or until no clumps of butter remain.

⭐Then, add in both eggs and vanilla. Stir to combine.

⭐Add in flour, baking soda and sea salt. Stir until a thick dough is formed.

⭐Fold in chocolate chips.

⭐Use a large spoon to scoop out balls of dough. Flatten each ball of dough. Place on lined pan.

⭐Place an unwrapped chocolate in the middle of each flatten ball.

⭐Then, place a smaller flattened ball of dough on top of the chocolate. Use hands to wrap cookie dough around each chocolate, until fully enclosed.

⭐Bake for 10 minutes or until edges are very slightly golden and the middles are barely set.

⭐Finally, remove cookies from oven. Allow cookies to cool for 10 minutes on pan before carefully transferring to a cooling rack.

NOTES:
