Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 2 piece large eggs
• 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup dark chocolate (chopped or chips)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips with a spatula.

Step 7

To prepare the chocolate swirl, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it starts to lightly simmer (do not boil).

Step 8

Pour the hot cream over the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then whisk together until smooth to create a ganache. Allow the ganache to cool slightly to a spreadable consistency.

Step 9

Scoop 2 tablespoons of cookie dough at a time and roll into balls. Flatten slightly and place on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 10

Using a teaspoon, drizzle or swirl a small amount of the ganache on top of each mound of cookie dough. Use a toothpick to gently swirl the ganache into the dough for a marbled effect.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still be soft, but they will set as they cool.

Step 12

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

Serve and enjoy Lisa's Swirled Chocolate Chip Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite warm beverage!
