Molten Chocolate Surprise

I have been dying to bake a lava cake ever since the kids got a free one from Dominos Pizza for their birthdays from school. I saw this recipe on Kraft Foods and had to try it. It was so worth it!

MOLTEN CHOCOLATE SURPRISE

4 oz. Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (the Kraft recipe actually called for 4 squares of Baker's semi-sweet chocolate, but since I didn't have any, I made this substitution and it worked great!)

1/2 cup butter or margarine

2 whole eggs

2 egg yolks

1 cup powdered sugar

1/3 cup flour

12 CHIPS AHOY! Cookies

1/2 cup whipped topping, optional

1. HEAT oven to 425 degrees.

2. Microwave chocolate and butter in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH for 2 minutes or until butter is melted. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Beat whole eggs, yolks, sugar, and flour with whisk until well blended. Gradually beat into chocolate mixture.

3. Line 12 muffin pan cups with paper liners, spray with cooking spray. Place 1 cookie, upside down on bottom of each cup; cover with batter.

4. Bake for 8 minutes or until cakes are firm aroudn edges but still soft in centers. Cool in pan for 1 minute. Carefully remove cakes from pan, invert into dessert dishes; remove paper liners. Serve with whipped topping if desired.

BE SURE TO EAT THEM WHILE THEY ARE HOT OR THE LAVA CONGEALS... IT IS STILL GOOD, BUT I LIKE THE LAVA HOT! This would also be great with ice cream!
