Ingredients:

1⁄2 cup butter (room temperature)
1⁄2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
1⁄2 cup white granulated sugar
3 large eggs
2 tbsp light corn syrup
1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
3 3⁄4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup cocoa powder
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp kosher salt
2⁄3 cup heavy cream
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1⁄3 cup rainbow-coated chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Whisk them together and set aside.
In another mixing bowl, beat together the butter, light brown sugar, and white sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Mix in the eggs, vanilla extract, and corn syrup until everything is fully combined.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix until a soft cookie dough forms.
Use a large ice cream scooper to scoop the dough into balls. Flatten them slightly on the baking sheet.
Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the cookies are set and slightly firm around the edges.
In a small pot, bring the heavy cream to a simmer over medium heat.
Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Spoon the ganache over each cookie and sprinkle with rainbow-coated chocolate chips. Let them cool slightly before serving.

How to Store Crumbl Cosmic Brownie Cookies

To store your cookies, place them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for about a week. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze the cookies. Just make sure to wrap them individually and place them in a freezer-safe bag. When you’re ready to eat them, let them thaw at room temperature.

Tips to Make Crumbl Cosmic Brownie Cookies

FAQs

1. Can I use unsweetened cocoa powder?
Yes, you can use unsweetened cocoa powder for these cookies. Just make sure to adjust the sugar if needed for your taste.

2. How can I make these cookies chewy?
To make chewier cookies, try adding an extra egg yolk to the dough. This will create a more moist texture.
