Ingredients:

  • Unsalted butter: 140g
  • Brown sugar: 75g
  • Granulated sugar: 35g
  • Salt: 1g
  • Whole egg: 60g
  • Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon 
  • All-purpose flour: 210g
  • Cocoa powder: 50g
  • Baking powder: 7g
  • Chocolate: 70g 
  • For the ganache :
  • Cream
  • Chocolate (for topping)

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in the whole egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Gently fold in the chocolate chips.

Using an ice cream scoop, scoop the cookie dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Press down slightly on the top of each scoop to create a slight indentation.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-13 minutes, or until set.

Make the ganache: While the cookies are baking, melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Once melted, slowly stir in the cream until smooth and glossy.

Once the cookies have cooled completely, fill the indentations with the chocolate ganache. Decorate with additional chocolate chips or other toppings as desired.

Additional Tips:

Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming.

Don’t overmix the dough, as this can develop the gluten and make the cookies tough.

Let the cookies cool completely before adding the ganache to prevent melting.

These Chocolate Ganache Cookies are the perfect combination of crisp edges, a soft center, and a velvety ganache topping. They are easy to make and can be customized with different toppings like nuts, sea salt, or sprinkles for added texture and flavor. Whether served as a homemade gift or enjoyed with a cup of coffee or milk, these cookies will surely impress anyone who takes a bite!
