# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Let your butter chill at room temp for maybe 45 minutes, even an hour, until it’s cool but bendy.
02 -
Toss together flour, cornstarch, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl, then park it to the side.
03 -
Whip up butter, brown sugar, and regular sugar on high for a couple minutes till it’s smooth. Stop and scrape the bowl sides down.
04 -
Add in eggs and your splash of vanilla. Mix everything up on medium-high so it all gets fluffy, about a minute.
05 -
Pour your prepped dry mixture into the butter bowl. Blend on your mixer’s lowest speed, just until it’s barely together.
06 -
Cover the dough and slide it in the fridge for half an hour. If it’s super sticky, you can freeze it for 15 extra minutes.
07 -
Lay parchment on two baking trays. Use a 3-ounce scoop to grab dough, flatten out the ball, pile in chopped chocolate, then squish it closed again.
08 -
Mix up cinnamon and sugar in a little shallow dish for rolling.
09 -
Coat each stuffed dough ball in your cinnamon sugar mix, then let them chill in the fridge another half hour.
10 -
Heat your oven up to 350°F. Space out 6 dough balls per cookie sheet, bake for 13–15 minutes till the sides are barely golden and centers look soft.
11 -
Leave baked cookies on the trays for five minutes. While they're warm, roll in leftover cinnamon sugar, then cool completely on a wire rack.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Spoon flour into your cup and sweep off the top so they don’t end up dry.
02 -
If you’re baking at altitude, throw in 2 more tablespoons of flour.
