Description

Delightful chocolate cookies filled with creamy chocolate ganache, perfect for sharing.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chocolate ganache (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, cream the softened butter and sugars together until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls.
  7. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet and make an indentation in the center of each ball with your thumb.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
  10. Fill the indents with chocolate ganache.

Notes

Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing. Chill the dough if it’s too soft to handle.
