Description
Deliciously soft chocolate cookies topped with rich ganache and colorful toppings, inspired by classic cosmic brownies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
Notes
For best results, use room temperature butter and allow cookies to cool slightly after adding ganache.
