If you love Molten lava cake your taste buds will for sure love theses cookies.

Serves: varies

1/2 c. (1 stick) Margarine, softened
1/2 c. coconut sugar
1/2 c. pure cane sugar
1 large egg
1/2 Tbsp. Pure vanilla extract
1 3/4 c. all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. Course Himalayan salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 (11.5 oz) semi sweet chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350. Spray a standard size muffin tin with cooking spray. Place ½ c. chocolate chips in a double boiler, and stir until chocolate is melted. Pour into Ziploc bag. Set aside to cool.

2. With an electric mixer, cream the margarine and sugars until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Add egg and vanilla and beat until well combined. In a separate glass mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Add to the wet ingredients and beat on low speed until just combined. Add the remaining chocolate chips (1 c.) and stir to combine.

3. Using half the cookie dough, scoop 1/2 -2 Tbsp of dough, flatten it out a little bit, and place in the bottom of the muffin tin.

4. Repeat for a total of 10 cookies. Cut a small tip in the corner of the Ziploc bag, and gently squeeze a layer of chocolate over the cookie. Scoop and flatten the remaining dough and place on top of the chocolate layer. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes, until the edges are just browned. As soon as they come out of the oven, run a knife around the edges to make for easy removing later. Cool completely before removing from the muffin tin, running a knife around the edge to help loosen.
