Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring until the dough comes together.
- Roll the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Press down gently on each ball to flatten it.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the ganache: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until smooth and glossy.
- Once the cookies have cooled, spread a layer of ganache on the bottom of one cookie and top with another cookie, pressing gently to sandwich them together.
- Allow the ganache to set before serving.
Notes
- Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- You can add a pinch of sea salt on top of the ganache for extra flavor contrast.
