Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup dark chocolate (chopped)
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup milk chocolate (chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the unsalted butter and 1 cup of dark chocolate together using a microwave in 30-second increments (stirring in between) or over a double boiler. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture until smooth and slightly pale, about 2 minutes.
Slowly pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, whisking continuously until fully combined.
Sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips to the dough.
Scoop tablespoon-sized mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Refrigerate the baking sheet with the dough mounds for at least 15 minutes to firm up.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still appear slightly soft. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
To make the chocolate ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour the hot cream over the chopped milk chocolate in a bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth.
Drizzle the chocolate ganache over the cooled cookies. Let the ganache set before serving.
