Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup butter
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 ⅔ cup flour
  • ½ cup cocoa
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

For the Ganache

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ⅓ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon corn syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  1. Add the butter, sugar and brown sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
  2. Beat together on high speed for 2 minutes.
  3. Add in the eggs and vanilla and beat together.
  4. Add in the remaining ingredients and beat together for 30 seconds or until completely incorporated.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place into the fridge to chill for at least 1 hour.
  6. Once chilled, remove from the fridge and uncover.
  7. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Roll the dough into 2-3 Tbs sized balls.
  8. Place onto a parchment lined baking sheet, about 3 ½” apart.
  9. Use your thumb to press the dough down in the center to create a well where the chocolate ganache will go once the cookies are baked.
  10. Place the cookies into the oven to bake for 9 minutes. The cookies will still be soft to the touch.
  11. Remove from the oven and place onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
  12. Once the cookies are cooled, make the chocolate filling.
  13. Place the chocolate chips and butter in a medium sized mixing bowl.
  14. Heat the heavy cream in a heat safe bowl, in the microwave for 1 minute.
  15. Pour over the butter and chocolate chips. Let set for 2 minutes to allow the chocolate chips to melt.
  16. Mix together until smooth.
  17. Add in the corn syrup and vanilla and whisk until incorporated.
  18. Spoon the mixture into a piping bag. Cut the end of the piping bag to make a nickel sized hole.
  19. Pipe the chocolate into the center wells of the cookies.
  20. Let set for 20 minutes to allow the chocolate to firm up slightly before serving.
