Ingredients for Cookies:
- 8.5 oz 60% dark chocolate, chopped
- 2.1 oz butter
- 3.5 oz light brown sugar
- 0.7 oz white sugar
- 3.5 oz egg (approximately 2 large eggs, weighed without shells)
- 2.8 oz all-purpose flour or bread flour
- 0.14 oz baking soda
- A pinch of salt
For the Ganache Filling:
- 4.6 oz 55% dark chocolate, finely chopped
- 4.6 oz heavy cream (at least 35% fat content)
- 0.67 oz butter
- A pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Cookie Dough: Beat the sugars, egg, and salt for 1-2 minutes. Melt the 60% chocolate with butter and cool slightly before adding to the egg mixture. Sift in the flour and baking soda, mixing just until combined. Chill if the dough is too soft.
- Baking: Preheat the oven to 356°F. Place tablespoon-sized dollops of dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 9-10 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Ganache: Heat the cream until it's just about to boil and pour over the 55% chocolate. Let sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth. Incorporate butter and salt, cover, and let set for 4-6 hours until firm.
- Assembly: Sandwich two cookies with a spoonful of ganache in between.
Enjoy these Chocolate-Stuffed Delight Cookies, where every bite is a blend of crispy, soft, and irresistibly chocolatey textures. Happy baking!
