I named these cookies ‘Thick ‘n Fudgy’ Chocolate Explosion Cookies for very good reason(s).

As I may have mentions just a couple hundred thousand times in my life…

Chocolate is my obsession!  

'Thick 'n Fudgy' Chocolate Explosion Cookies

I love to bake, I love chocolate, thus ‘The Baking ChocolaTess‘ was founded, when I actually decided to start blogging about what I love!  Desserts, Baking & Chocolate!!!  ‘ChocolaTess’ is basically just a cute little title bestowing my loyalty and passion to ta-daaaa… ‘Chocolate’!

Chocolate is my all time favorite crush in the whole universe.  I don’t care if it’s served alone or with a partner in crime like caramel, mint or peanut butter.  I’m perfectly happy.

My long-time bff, Chocolate…We’ve been through a lot together.  We depend on each other, you could say! xo  In fact, Chocolate has been by my side ever since I can remember.  🙂

Chocolate is a sweet explosion of a rich, creamy, decadent, sweet seductive feast of absolute heaven that kicks it out of this world.

NO wonder it’s called the love drug, a.k.a aphrodisiac.  It always makes me feel better…whether I’m sad, sick, depressed, stressed or just need a pick-me-up.

 It seems to work wonders!
 
These cookies are…pure chocolate explosions of love.  I used Hershey’s Chocolate Spread, but I am not sure if it’s available anymore, so you could useNutella chocolate spread, Cadbury’s chocolate spread or Nutiva Chocolate Spread.  You could use a chocolate peanut butter mix as well.  Just google ‘chocolate spread’ if you need some assistance.

These sinful, loaded chocolate cookies are best warm, with a huge glass of milk. Not for the faint of heart if you love chocolate like me. 🙂

(Hopefully) Besides in your kitchen baking, you can find them on Good Housekeeping – 41 Cookie Recipes That’ll Beat Shop Bought Every Time and FoodPorn – 12 Cookie Recipes You NEED To Try ASAP.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup butter. softened
  • 1½ cups granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup Hershey's Spreadable Chocolate or any chocolate spread
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups Dark chocolate chips reserve 1/2 cup for tops of cookies
  • 1 1/2 cups Milk Chocolate Chips reserve 1/2 cup for tops of cookies
  • Optional: Hershey's Spreadable Chocolate for drizzling

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a baking pan with non-stick spray, parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Using a mixer, cream the butter, sugar, and vanilla until creamy and fluffy.
  • Add in the eggs and Hershey's Spreadable Chocolate and mix until just combined.
  • In another bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix until incorporated. The dough will be thick.
  • Stir in 1 cup of dark and 1 cup of milk chocolate chips.
  • Cover dough and place in fridge for 30 minutes or so.
  • Using a large scoop, scoop the dough balls out and then roll the dough into even balls. Flatten just a tad and with the 1/2 cups of each of the reserved dark and milk chocolate chips left, gently press several chips into the tops of the cookies.
  • Place on baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes and transfer to a cooling rack.
  • When you take the cookies out of the oven, they will look underdone, thick and puffy-looking, which will make them soft and fudgy!
  • If you want to add some extra chocolate 'oomph', melt some Hershey's Spreadable Chocolate in the microwave for 60 - 90 seconds and spoon into a plastic ziploc bag.
  • Snip small hole in tip, squeeze and drizzle back and forth on cookies.

Notes

I made very large cookies, so if you make smaller cookies, adjust time accordingly.
Warm up cookies in microwave for a warm sweet treat! 🙂 Don't forget the milk!
