Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 12 ounces dark chocolate chips
- 0.75 cup heavy cream
- sea salt flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the rolled oats until evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cookies cool, prepare the chocolate ganache. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer (do not boil).
Pour the heated cream over the dark chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
Dip half of each cooled cookie into the ganache, allowing the excess to drip off, then place the cookie on a piece of parchment paper to set. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes onto the ganache before it sets for an extra touch of flavor.
Let the ganache set fully at room temperature or place the cookies in the refrigerator for faster setting.
Enjoy your Grand Ola cookies dipped in chocolate ganache!
