Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F

Mix together cake mix, cream cheese, butter and egg. Stir in 3/4 of the mini chocolate chips.

Portion into 1 1/2 Tablespoon-sized balls (I used a cookie scoop to help with this). You should end up with approximately 20 cookie balls.

Take one ball and flatten it in your hand. Place the milk chocolate square on top and fold the cookie dough around the pattie to cover it completely.

Repeat with remaining cookie dough.

Sprinkle the remaining mini chocolate chips on top – pressing down slightly if needed to keep them in place.

Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until cracked and no longer glossy

Tips & Tricks (5)

Chocolate Chill Technique 🧊
Freeze the chocolate squares for 15 minutes before stuffing to prevent melting during initial cookie formation and ensure a perfect molten center.
Mix Master Method 🥄
Use room temperature cream cheese and butter for smoother incorporation, creating a more uniform cookie dough texture that's easier to shape around the chocolate.
Portion Control Pro 📏
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to create consistent cookie sizes, dividing the dough into equal portions to ensure even baking and uniform chocolate distribution.
Chocolate Core Technique 🍫
Create a small well in the center of each dough ball, carefully nestling the chocolate square inside and completely sealing the edges to prevent leakage during baking.
Cooling Compression Trick 🍪
Gently press down on the cookies immediately after removing from the oven to create a slightly flatter, more professional-looking finish and help seal the chocolate inside.
