Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, cream the softened butter with the granulated and brown sugars until smooth and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the vanilla and mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring or mixing on low until a thick, pliable dough forms.
- Scoop or roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Press a thumb or the back of a small spoon into the center of each ball to form an indentation.
Baking
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the cookies are set at the edges but still slightly soft in the center.
- Let them cool completely on the baking sheet.
Filling
- When cooled, spoon about a teaspoon of chocolate ganache into each indentation. Allow the ganache to set before serving.
Nutrition
Notes
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For warmer kitchens, refrigerate to keep fresh. Can freeze for up to 2 months without ganache. Best served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
