Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, until fully combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Using a cookie scoop, place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Baking
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Ganache Preparation
- While the cookies cool, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to boil.
- Remove from heat, pour the cream over the chopped semi-sweet chocolate, and let sit for a couple of minutes.
- Stir until smooth and until cooled slightly.
Frosting
- Once the cookies are completely cool, frost them generously with the chocolate ganache.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing.
