Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Ganache & Decoration

  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup rainbow candy-coated chocolate chips (like Cosmic Brownie sprinkles)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Make the Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and well blended.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to remove lumps and evenly distribute the leavening agents.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until fully combined to form a thick, fudgy dough.
  5. Scoop and Bake: Using a cookie scoop, drop portions of the dough about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are set but still soft in the center.
  6. Cool the Cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up slightly, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before decorating.
  7. Prepare the Ganache: Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to steam, making sure it does not boil. Pour the hot cream over the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl and let sit for 2 minutes. Stir gently until the ganache is smooth and glossy.
  8. Decorate Cookies: Spoon or drizzle the ganache over each cooled cookie, then immediately sprinkle with the rainbow candy-coated chocolate chips to add a colorful, crunchy finish.
  9. Let Ganache Set: Allow the ganache to firm up at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before serving, ensuring the chocolate topping holds its shape.

Notes

  • For best results, use room temperature eggs to ensure even mixing.
  • Do not overbake the cookies; they should remain soft for that fudgy texture.
  • You can substitute rainbow candy-coated chocolate chips with any colorful candy or sprinkles if desired.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate to extend freshness.
  • Ganache can be gently reheated if it hardens too much before serving.
