Ingredients

For the Cookies

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips

For the Ganache

1 cup heavy cream
8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped

Make sure to measure your ingredients accurately for the best results!

Instructions

Prepare the Ganache

In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the heavy cream to a simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped dark chocolate. Stir until melted and smooth. Allow the ganache to cool and thicken.

Make the Cookie Dough

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Assemble the Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop a tablespoon of cookie dough, flatten it, and place a teaspoon of ganache in the center. Fold the dough around the ganache and roll it into a ball.

Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy these cookies warm for a gooey ganache experience!

Tips for the Best Cookies

To achieve the perfect texture, be sure to measure your flour accurately. Too much flour can lead to dry cookies, while too little can result in spreading. For best results, spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it off with a knife.

Allow the ganache to cool and thicken before assembling the cookies. This will help prevent it from oozing out during baking and ensure a delightful surprise when you bite into the finished cookies.

Storing and Serving Suggestions

Once cooled, store your chocolate ganache stuffed cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, consider freezing them. Just be sure to separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

For an extra touch, serve these cookies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Their rich flavors pair beautifully with creamy accompaniments, making them a perfect dessert option for any occasion.
