Ingredients

Dough:

1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup Argo® or Kingsford's® Corn Starch
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) butter (softened)
1 teaspoon Spice Islands® Pure Vanilla Extract
1 cup ganache

Ganache:

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
4 tablespoons half and half

 

 

Directions

For Dough:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Combine flour, corn starch, powdered sugar and cocoa powder in a medium bowl; set aside. In a large bowl, beat butter on medium speed of electric mixer until smooth. Add flour mixture and vanilla.
  3. Add half of ganache and beat until well blended. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until brown.
  4. Remove from oven; cool 2 to 3 minutes then transfer to wire racks; cool to room temperature.
  5. Drizzle remaining half of ganache over cookies (see Recipe Tip). Store in airtight container.


For Ganache:

  1. Place ingredients in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until chocolate begins to melt.
  2. Stir together until smooth.

Recipe Tip:

Transfer ganache to a sealable sandwich size freezer bag using a rubber spatula. Seal bag and snip a small tip off the lower corner of bag. Squeeze ganache through opening to pipe onto cookies.
