Indulge in these soft, chewy Valentine Ganache Cookies filled with rich chocolate ganache, perfect for sharing or enjoying on your own.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until you have a smooth dough.
- Use a cookie scoop to drop dough balls onto your baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until just simmering, then remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate, stirring until smooth.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a spoonful of ganache between two cookies to create a sandwich or dip the tops for extra indulgence.
Notes
Chill the dough for about 30 minutes for better shape retention. Avoid overbaking for softer cookies.
