Cookies:
- 1/2 cup of lusciously softened unsalted butter bringing a delightful creaminess to the mix
- 1 cup of high-quality all-purpose flour the foundation for a satisfyingly tender texture
- 1/4 cup of finely granulated sugar ensuring a perfect balance of sweetness
- 1/8 teaspoon of finely ground salt accentuating the overall taste experience
- 2 tablespoons of decadent unsweetened cocoa powder introducing a rich chocolate flavor
- 1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract imparting a subtle and fragrant sweetness to the cookies
Ganache Filling:
- 4 ounces of premium dark chocolate finely chopped for a luxurious and velvety ganache
- 1/4 cup of indulgent heavy cream adding a luscious and smooth consistency to the filling
- 1/2 tablespoon of unsalted butter contributing a rich and buttery undertone to the ganache
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Slowly add in the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and a dough forms.
Roll the cookie dough into 12 equal-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Use your thumb to create an indentation in the center of each cookie.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add in the chopped dark chocolate, stirring until smooth.
Spoon the ganache filling into each cookie indentation, making sure not to overfill.
Top each cookie with a few extra chocolate chips for an added crunch and indulgence.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these decadent Godiva ganache filled chocolate chip cookies!
* Make sure the butter is at room temperature before creaming it with the sugar.
* If the cookie dough is too sticky to shape, chill it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
* You can also use semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips for the ganache filling.
* If the ganache is too thick, add a little more heavy cream.
* The ganache-filled cookies can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
