Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
3
In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups of semisweet chocolate pieces with 2 tablespoons of butter. Heat over low heat while constantly stirring until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
4
In a large mixing bowl, beat the remaining 3/4 cup of softened butter on medium speed for 30 seconds. Gradually add in the packed brown sugar and continue beating until well combined.
5
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Then, stir in the melted chocolate mixture and the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
6
Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add in the flour mixture, stirring until just combined. Finally, fold in 1 cup of the remaining semisweet chocolate pieces.
7
Using a rounded teaspoon or cookie scoop, drop dough about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are firm and the surface appears lightly cracked. Remove from the oven and let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
9
To make the chocolate ganache, in a saucepan, combine the whipping cream, 1 tablespoon of butter, and granulated sugar. Bring the mixture to just boiling, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat.
10
Place the remaining 2 cups of chocolate pieces in a heat-resistant bowl and pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate. Let it stand for 5 minutes before stirring until smooth. Allow the ganache to cool to room temperature.
11
Once cool, dip each cookie one-third to halfway into the chocolate ganache, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the dipped cookies on a wire rack and let them sit until the ganache is set. Enjoy your delightful cookies!
