Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk light brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla until light and thick (2–3 minutes).
- Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking continuously.
- Sift in flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold until combined.
- Drop small rounds of batter onto the baking sheet using a cookie scoop. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until tops are crackled. Let cool completely.
- For the ganache, heat heavy cream until steaming. Pour over dark chocolate chips and butter. Let sit for 1–2 minutes, then stir until smooth and thickened.
- Pipe or spoon ganache onto the flat side of half the cookies. Top with the remaining cookies to form sandwiches.
- Let set at room temperature for 20 minutes or chill briefly before serving.
Notes
- Don’t overbake—the cookies should remain fudgy and soft in the center.
- Use a kitchen scale for uniform cookie sizes.
- Ganache can be flavored with a splash of espresso or orange extract for variation.
