Southern Chocolate Cobbler Recipe

1. **Preheat the Oven:**
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. **Make the Cobbler Batter:**
– In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
– Add the milk and melted butter, stirring until just combined.

3. **Pour the Batter:**
– Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.

4. **Add the Chocolate:**
– Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the batter.

5. **Prepare the Chocolate Sauce:**
– In a separate bowl, combine the hot water and vanilla extract. Slowly pour this mixture over the batter and chocolate (do not stir).

6. **Bake:**
– Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the top is set and the edges are bubbly.

7. **Serve:**
– Let it cool slightly before serving. It’s delicious on its own or topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
