Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Light brown sugar (packed)
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 6 ounces Semi-sweet chocolate (chopped)
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Step 6

To make the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer (do not boil).

Step 7

Remove the cream from the heat and pour it over the chopped semi-sweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 2 minutes.

Step 8

Stir the chocolate and cream together until smooth and glossy. Chill the ganache in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until it thickens to a scoopable consistency.

Step 9

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 10

Using a tablespoon-sized cookie scoop, scoop out portions of dough and roll them into balls. Flatten each ball slightly with your fingers.

Step 11

Place about 1 teaspoon of chilled ganache in the center of each flattened dough ball. Wrap the dough around the ganache, sealing it completely, and roll it back into a ball.

Step 12

Place the stuffed cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 13

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set but the centers still look soft.

Step 14

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 15

Serve the ganache-filled chocolate cookies warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
