Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Cream Butter and Sugars
In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Step 3: Add Eggs and Vanilla
Add the large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
Step 4: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon until evenly mixed.
Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6: Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Coating
In a small bowl, mix together the 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon for rolling the cookies.
Step 7: Stuff the Dough
Take a tablespoon of dough, flatten it slightly, place a few chocolate chips or a chocolate chunk in the center, and then fold the dough around the chocolate to seal it inside.
Step 8: Roll in Cinnamon Sugar
Roll the stuffed dough balls in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated, then place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 9: Bake Cookies
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Step 10: Cool Cookies
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
