Ingredients:

• 100 g soft butter
• 110 g brown sugar (1/2 cup)
• 47 g caster sugar (1/4 cup)
• 1 egg
• 1/4 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• A pinch of salt
• 166 g flour (about 1 and 1/3 cups)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (liquid or powder)
• Chocolate pieces for stuffing

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, beat together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and continue mixing until well combined.
2. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cornstarch and salt.
3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in batches, mixing until everything is well combined.
4. Add the chocolate pieces. Pour the batter into a cupcake mold, pressing lightly to form cups. Place the tray in the freezer for 15 to 30 minutes to firm up the dough.
5. Preheat your oven to 175-180°C (347-356°F). Place the baking sheet on the lower rack of the oven and bake for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the center is still soft.
6. Let the cookie cups cool slightly before serving for a deliciously gooey chocolate experience.
