Yield 6 dozen, 72 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
3 whole eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups semisweet chocolate pieces
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F In a medium bowl, stir together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • Combine the 2 cups chocolate pieces and 2 tablespoons of the butter. Cook and stir over low heat until melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Beat remaining butter on medium speed 30 seconds. Beat in brown sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time, scraping bowl after each addition. Beat in melted chocolate mixture and vanilla. Beat in flour mixture on low speed. Stir in 1 cup semisweet chocolate pieces.
  • Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in preheated oven 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are firm and surface is lightly cracked. Let sit 10 minutes and transfer to wire rack; finish cooling. Dip each cookie one-third to halfway into chocolate ganache. Place on wire rack until ganache is set.
  • Chocolate Ganache: In saucepan, combine whipping cream, 1 tablespoon butter, and granulated sugar. Bring just to boiling, stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat. Place remaining semisweet chocolate pieces in bowl. Pour hot cream mixture over chocolate; let stand for 5 minutes. Stir until smooth. Cool to room temperature.
