Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg (50g), room temperature
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (45g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp (3g) cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp (3g) baking soda
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
- 1/2 cup (90g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream
- 1 tbsp (14g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup (40g) rainbow candy coated chocolate chips
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt; sift if necessary.
- In a medium bowl, whisk melted butter and brown sugar until smooth, then beat in the egg and vanilla extract until glossy.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until no streaks of flour remain.
- Scoop the dough into 22 balls, place them on a tray, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Arrange chilled dough balls 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set but centers remain slightly under-baked.
- Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Combine chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Stir the softened butter into the chocolate mixture for a glossy finish.
- Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of ganache onto each cooled cookie and immediately press rainbow chips into the glaze.
