- Prepare the Cookie Dough:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and mini M&Ms (or sprinkles).
- Shape the Cookies:
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie (about 2 inches).
- Gently press each cookie down to flatten slightly.
- Bake the Cookies:
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make the Ganache:
- While the cookies cool, prepare the ganache. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it starts to simmer.
- Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
- Assemble the Cosmic Brownie Cookies:
- Once the cookies have cooled, drizzle the ganache over the top of each cookie.
- Sprinkle with extra rainbow sprinkles or mini M&Ms for that signature cosmic brownie look.
- Serve:
- Let the ganache set slightly before enjoying these cosmic cookies!
These Cosmic Brownie Cookies are the perfect balance of fudgy, chewy, and chocolaty, with a burst of colorful fun from the sprinkles and M&Ms. They’re sure to be a hit at any gathering or simply as a treat to brighten your day! 🌈🍪🍫
