Molten chocolate cookie

I’m not really sure what sparked this, but I am now craving one.
This is made with almond butter, and honestly some other very good foods, that’ll leave you feeling good. This is not your average cookie, and is almost too good to be true.

Recipe

THE COOKIE EDGE
2 big tbsp smooth almond butter
1 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp sugar
3 heaped tsp plain flour
1 tsp ground almonds
1 tbsp syrup
Splash plant milk
Tiny sprinkle bicarb (about 1/6th tsp worth)
Vanilla

THE MIDDLE
1 tbsp cream cheese
1 tbsp choco hazelnut spread
1 tbsp syrup

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C

2. Mix your almond butter and sugar until you have a paste

3. Add a tiiiiiiiny splash of plant milk and the vanilla and mix well

4. Add the flours, bicarb and salt and Mix well until you get a dough

5. Add the syrup and stir through well, roll into a cookie dough ball - if the dough is too wet, add a bit more flour, if it’s too dry, add more almond butter and syrup

6. Press 3/4 the dough into a small bowl, so it lines the edge of the bowl, with thickness of about 1cm

7. Whip together the cream cheese, chocolate spread and syrup until you have a smooth paste, loosen slightly with a drop of milk, and add to the cookie dough well

8. Flatten the remaining 1/4 of the cookie dough and shape into a circle the size of the bowl, place as a lid over the chocolate mixture and press into the dough thats against the sides

9. Top with some broken chocolate/ choc chips and bake for 20-25 mins

Notes + Variations:

You could just fill this with your favourite chocolate spread too. You actually cant beat Nutella. Biscoff would be good too tbf.
