I’m a confessed chocoholic and I always keep a secret stash of chocolate for those moments when parenting, household tasks, and running a food blog become overwhelming. Sometimes it’s for emergencies, and sometimes I just need a little pick-me-up. Lately I’ve been reaching for dark chocolate more often — it feels like a slightly healthier choice and satisfies my craving for something rich. Not all dark chocolate is created equal though: many varieties can be too bitter or overly brittle, missing that creamy, melt-in-your-mouth texture I love. For me, dark chocolate needs a smooth, velvety finish to truly feel like chocolate.

Dove® dark chocolate has become a favorite because it avoids that bitter, crumbly experience. It’s silky, smooth, and rich without being harsh. I especially like the individually wrapped DOVE® PROMISES® Dark Chocolate pieces — they give me a perfectly portioned moment of indulgence without going overboard. Usually one piece is enough because the texture and flavor are so satisfying.

Beyond the taste, Dove® wrappers often hide small, uplifting messages that brighten my day. The first one I opened made me smile and reminded me how a tiny touch of humor or encouragement can lift your spirits — just like a piece of chocolate does.

Today’s recipe comes straight from the original source with no changes. These cookies are essentially a chocolate shortbread with a Dove® dark chocolate center. Warm from the oven they become almost like a molten cookie, with creamy melted Dove® chocolate nestled in the middle. They’re simple, comforting, and perfect when you want a little decadent treat. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 14 oz (399 g) bag DOVE® PROMISES® Milk or Dark Chocolate
  • 1 cup (226 g) butter, (2 sticks) softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour, (stir, spoon & level)
  • 6 oz glass
  • 2 non-stick cookie sheets

Instructions

  • Place 12 DOVE® PROMISES® Milk or Dark Chocolate pieces in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in short bursts, stirring every 15 seconds, until melted and smooth.
  • In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar. Gradually add the all-purpose flour, then stir in the melted chocolate until the dough is uniform.
  • Form 24 walnut-sized portions of dough and roll each into a ball. Place them about 2½ inches apart on prepared cookie sheets. Lightly flour the bottom of a glass and use it to gently flatten each ball to about ½-inch thickness. Press a DOVE® PROMISES® piece into the center of every cookie.
  • Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes, until set. Allow cookies to cool before serving so the centers firm up slightly.
  • Tips: If you prefer a touch of contrast, use salted butter. Flatten the cookies to roughly ½-inch thick—no thinner—and brush off any excess flour from the tops before baking.
