Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare for Gooey Perfection

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and get ready for some serious cookie magic.

  • Scoop out 3 ounces of cookie dough for each cookie. If you want bakery-style, thick, gooey cookies, this size is perfect. Use a food scale or scoop out about 3 tablespoons per cookie.

  • Here’s where the magic happens—gently press extra dark chocolate chips into the dough balls. These little pockets of chocolate will melt into pools of indulgence when baked.

Step 2: Bake Until Golden & Gooey

  • Place your dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving enough room for them to spread slightly.

  • Bake for 12-14 minutes until the cookies are golden at the edges but still soft and slightly underbaked in the center. This will give you that gooey middle that’s so irresistible.

  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. During this time, the centers will firm up just enough to stay soft and chewy, while the edges get that perfect slight crisp.

Step 3: The Cinnamon Butter Melt

  • Now for the game changer: Texas Roadhouse Honey Cinnamon Butter. As soon as the cookies are warm and fresh from the oven, spread a generous dollop of this creamy cinnamon butter on top of each cookie. The warmth of the cookie will melt the butter slightly, creating a luscious, silky layer of sweet cinnamon goodness that pairs perfectly with the rich dark chocolate.

  • If you prefer an extra indulgent option, serve the cookies with a small bowl of the honey cinnamon butter on the side for dipping. Yes, it’s as decadent as it sounds!

Step 4: Dive Into Pure Bliss

  • Give the cookies a couple more minutes to let that buttery cinnamon layer settle in. Then, grab one (or two, or three…), and let the magic happen. The combination of gooey, melty dark chocolate and creamy cinnamon butter will take you straight to dessert heaven.
