# Steps To Follow:
01 -
In a mixing bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until mixture is light and fluffy. Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

Preheat oven to 175°C. Arrange dough discs on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers remain soft.

Allow cookies to rest on the tray for 5 minutes. While still warm, cut into halves or quarters to reveal the molten chocolate center.

Enjoy cookies warm, ideally accompanied by a glass of cold milk.
