Ingredients
Scale
For the cookies:
- 1 cup salted butter, melted
- 1 ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp corn starch
- 1 cup cocoa powder (dark chocolate preferred)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp kosher salt
For the ganache frosting:
- 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup cosmic brownie sprinkles
Instructions
- For the cookies: In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix on medium for 1 minute. Add eggs and mix on low until incorporated. Add flour, corn starch, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low until combined.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a cookie dough scoop to portion the dough into 20 balls. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Space cookie dough balls on a baking sheet and bake for 9-10 minutes. Cool on sheet before transferring to a rack.
- For the ganache: Break chocolate into pieces and place in a bowl. Heat cream in a pot until simmering. Pour over chocolate and let sit for 5 minutes. Add vanilla and whisk until smooth. Cool until spreadable.
- Spread ganache on cooled cookies, top with sprinkles, and serve or refrigerate.
Notes
- Chilling the cookie dough enhances flavor and prevents spreading.
- Ensure ganache is spreadable but not runny before topping cookies.
