Ingredient Notes
Here are some notes on the ingredients. For a full list of ingredients, check out the recipe card below.
- Unsalted butter- Pull this out 2 hours before baking to get to room temperature.
- Brown sugar- I used light brown sugar for this, but dark will work as well.
- Eggs- Pull these out 2 hours before baking to get it to room temperature.
- Chocolate chips- I used semisweet chocolate chips. Dark chocolate can work, but I do not recommend milk chocolate chips as they will be too sweet.
- Lindt truffles- The double chocolate Lindt Lindor truffles are my favorite since they have dark chocolate too, but you can substitute in your favorite brand.
Step By Step Instructions
Here is how to make and bake these Lindt stiffed cookies. This recipe uses a stand mixer with paddle attachment.
STEP 1: Brown butter. Melt the butter in a frying pan on medium heat. Continue heating it until the milk solids separate and turn amber in color. Then, pour it into a glass bowl and cool it completely.
STEP 2: Dry ingredients. Sift together the all purpose flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
STEP 3: Beat butter. Put the room temperature butter, browned butter, brown sugar, and white sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer. Then beat it on high speed for 2 minutes.
STEP 4: Combine. Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter and mix on low speed. Once combined, add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until combined. Next, add the chocolate chips and mix them in.
STEP 5: Prep. Let the dough chill for 40 minutes. Place the Lindt truffles in the freezer.
While the dough chills, heat oven to 350°F and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
STEP 6: Scoop. Scoop the cookie dough with a large (2 tablespoon or 2 oz) cookie scoop. Then, use your thumb to press a hole halfway into the dough and stuff it with a truffle. Form the dough back over the Lindt balls enough to hold it with some of the truffle still showing. Then, remove the ball from the scoop and place it truffle side up on the cookie sheet. Place the dough balls in the freezer for 10 more minutes.
STEP 7: Bake cookies. Place 6 cookies per baking sheet. Bake 1 sheet at a time for 14-16 minutes. When the edges are golden brown the cookies are done.
STEP 8: Cool. Let the cookies cool in the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Expert Baking Tips
- Properly measure your flour- Make sure the flour is spooned and leveled. If you stick the measuring cup directly into the flour, it will compact the flour giving you too much flour. Compacted flour can cause the cookies to not spread.
- If the cookies are spreading, make sure you are using parchment paper on the cookie sheet. If they are still spreading too much this could be the butter was too warm before adding the ingredients. If it still spreads too much, you chill the cookie dough balls for 10-15 extra minutes. The melted chocolate can make these cookies extra susceptible to spreading and freezing them first helps reduce that.
- If you live at high altitude, add an extra 2 Tablespoons of flour. This will help with the spread.
- The cookies should be slightly underdone, because they will continue to cook as they cool. This helps to make sure they have chewy centers.
FAQ
No, each large cookie is just the right size to fit the truffles in the middle. Smaller cookies would not be able to fit the gooey chocolate center.
