Preparation

Step 1

Cookies:
In a small bowl, combine the eggs, salt and vanilla. Mix until well combined. Add the butter, melted chocolate and honey. Beat until incorporated. Add the rest of the ingredients and beat until just combined. Spoon tablespoon sized balls on a lined baking sheet and bake at 350 for 7-8 minutes. When the cookie are finished baking, gently indent the very centers of the cookie by pressing with a spoon and pour about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon amount of the following chocolate glaze in the center.

Glaze:
Melt the chocolate in a heat safe bowl over a double broiler or in the microwave. Once the chocolate is just melted, add the honey to the warm chocolate. Mix until well combine and glossy. Add the vanilla and stevia and mix to combine. The glaze should be very smooth and glossy. When the cookies are done baking, indent the very middle part of the cookie. Pour the chocolate glaze in the center of each cookie. Once the cookies are filled with chocolate, allow to sit for at least 5 minutes to set.

Note: Be sure to indent the center of the cookies soon after they are finished baking, when they are still hot.

Although absolutely delicious, the cookies will melt and fold into themselves if you eat immediately which causes for a more messy treat!
