Ingredients
For the Cookies
- 1 cup unsalted butter melted (2 sticks)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
For the Chocolate ganache
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup rainbow candy-coated chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
For the Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the melted butter, sugars, and cocoa powder until well-combined.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla extract and beat until incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat until incorporated.
- Fold in the chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.
- Let the dough chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough. Roll the dough portions between your palms until rounded, then place them on the prepared baking sheet. Slightly press down on each cookie ball with the palm of your hand to flatten.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes.
- Let cool before coating with ganache.
For the Chocolate Ganache
- Place the chocolate chips in a bowl.
- Heat the heavy cream for 1-2 minutes in a microwave or on the stove.
- Once heated, pour the cream over the chocolate chips.
- Gently stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of frosting over each cooled cookie.
- Sprinkle rainbow chips over the frosting.
- Let the frosting set before enjoying!
Notes
- Storage: Store cosmic brownie cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
- You can use salted butter in this recipe; simply omit the kosher salt.
- You can use all granulated sugar in this recipe instead of brown sugar.
- You can use any cocoa powder you have on hand.
- For gluten-free cookies, swap the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free 1:1 baking flour.
- You can use milk, semisweet, or dark chocolate chips in these cookies.
- If you can't find rainbow candy-coated chocolate chips, you can use mini M&M's or rainbow sprinkles.
- Measure the flour using the spoon-and-level method to prevent using too much flour. Too much flour could lead to dry cookies.
- Don't overmix the cookie dough; otherwise, the cookies will come out tough and dry.
- Take care not to overbake the cookies. They should be set on the sides but not completely in the middle.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet; this will help them continue to cook through.
- Frost the cookies once they are fully cooled; otherwise, the ganache will melt off.
- Sprinkle the candy-coated chocolate chips on top while the frosting is still wet; otherwise, they won't stick.
