Made three batches of these for my coworkers and everyone loved it!! I’ve made countless of recipes and I have to say these are easily the best cookies I’ve ever made. Everyone was asking for seconds! The recipe is fairly easy to make, but I’d suggest a few things. First is I probably would not double or triple the recipe unless you have the tools available. The cookie dough is super thick and not easy to work with in big quantities, since it requires a good stand mixer or hand kneading. Secondly, I would also recommend putting the ganache in the fridge first before attempting to spoon them on a tray. This is far easier than trying to shape slightly thick goop into a ball. I also followed the weight as opposed to the volume measurements, which I would recommend for consistent texture and flavour.

Hi Christy! They’ll be gooey inside until cooled completely, which usually takes at least an hour. It doesn’t sound like you did anything wrong! This actually helps them stay super soft and chewy for days. I hope that helps 🙂

I had the same problem with the ganache dollops as the others. I ended up popping mine in the freezer for a few minutes and it was good from there :). However, I’m not sure if I did something wrong but when I scooped the cookie dough, I used a standard ice cream scoop, minus a bit of dough. I baked them for the 13 minutes but after cooling a few minutes, I of course went to sample one and noticed the inside of the cookie was somewhat doughy still. Is that normal for this cookie or should I have baked them a little longer? Maybe I used too much dough? Maybe let them cool a little more?

I would try popping the ganache in the freezer for a bit. 🙂

The ganache was solid, at least I thought it was. I guess I’ll just have to keep practicing 🙂

I’m so sorry to hear this, Wendy! Was the ganache completely solidified when you tried to use it. 🙂

Very yummy! Not sure if I did something wrong. I had a tough time rolling the dough around the ganache. It was really messy. You made it look so easy.

OMG! For me, these were a lot of work BUT, they are SO DANG GOOD, I can’t even describe!! I think I need to tweak my ganache globs, and I actually had to make “hats” with some of the cookie dough to fully cover the globs once inside the cookie. I’ve made notes for myself because I WILL be making these again!
They are OUTSTANDING!! Oh and I used regular cocoa powder (not dark or Dutch) they are still FAB!!!
