cupful of love...

I saw this recipe and immediately fell in love, head over heels i tell you.
It has everything anyone could ever want- chocolate, butter, gooeyness, warmth... all in one cup.
So instead of going on dates, sobbing over failed relationships I made these babies and enjoyed them full heartedly with my brother.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE LAVA CAKES

..........................................................................
1/2 c butter (softened)
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 3/4 c flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 baking soda
1/2 bag of chocolate chips
or
1/2  bar of chocolate
(i used just 4-5 ounces of lil chocolate candies)
..............................................................................
Preheat oven at 350 F (170C), get your muffin pan ready and greased up.
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler, let it cool off.
Cream together butter and sugars. Beat in egg and vanilla. In a separate bowl mix all dry ingredients.
Mix it all up into one lovely clump of dough.
Press some dough into the bottoms of the muffin pan (maybe half), dollop some chocolate sauce in the middle. Then use up the rest of the dough to seal the chocolate sauce in the middle- just placing flattened dough on top.
Blop it into the oven for 9-12 minutes- till golden and crispy looking. Carefully run a knife around to remove each cup.
Enjoy with some ice cream or whipped cream placed in the perfectly formed bowl in the middle of the cup.
