How to Make Chocolate Muddies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 8 ounces (225g) softened cream cheese and 1 cup (2 sticks) softened margarine or butter using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
  3. Add 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar, ¾ cup (150g) packed brown sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (or Kahlua), 2 large eggs, and ½ cup (120ml) chocolate ice cream topping. Beat for 3 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups (300g) all-purpose flour, ¾ cup (60g) unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 2 cups (340g) chocolate chips.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft. (Do not overbake).
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
