Chocolate Ganache Cookies Recipe
I can’t really take credit for these decadent cookies, though. These cookies were my husband’s idea.
Even though he isn’t a freak about chocolate like my son and I are, he still came up with the idea of these little babies! I was talking with him about my ganache recipe that I have also shared with you and his idea for this cookie was born.
I love it when that happens!
How to Make Chocolate Ganache Cookies
For the chocolate cookies, I prepared the cookie dough and then rolled them in a coarse sugar before baking. The sugar on these looks like like little diamonds all over these cookies. It’s almost like the are little gems themselves!
For the ganache filling , I used my favorite recipe and then let it cool completely. Then, once the cookies were also cooled completely, I added a scoop of ganache to the flat side of one cookie and then sandwiched it with another cookie.
They are to die for!
Here’s my chocolate ganache cookie recipe. Make ’em soon!
