Description
Rich and fudgy cosmic brownie cookies topped with smooth chocolate ganache and colorful candy-coated chips. A nostalgic bakery-style treat with a soft center and crackly edges.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100 g) light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups (155 g) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup (75 g) cocoa powder
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup (180 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream
- 3/4 cup (130 g) mini candy-coated chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking trays with parchment paper.
- Cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a thick dough forms.
- Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking trays, spacing evenly apart, and gently flatten each ball.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes until the edges are set but the centers remain soft. Allow cookies to cool completely.
- Heat the heavy cream until just simmering, then pour over the chocolate chips. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth to create the ganache.
- Spoon or spread the ganache over each cooled cookie and top with mini candy-coated chocolate chips.
- Allow the ganache to set before serving.
Notes
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- You can refrigerate the cookies briefly to help the ganache set faster.
- For extra fudginess, slightly underbake the cookies.
