Hot Cocoa Ganache Cookies
Nothing like a nice cup of hot cocoa on a cold and blistery winter day. How about a cookie cup of hot cocoa to keep you warm?
We baked up some cookie cups that we could fill with a soft, chocolate ganache and top with mini marshmallow pieces.
These cute little cups of are the perfect thing to enjoy with your coffee, hot cider or maybe even some more hot chocolate.
Hot Cocoa Ganache Cookies
(makes about 10 dozen cookies)
(approx. 45 minutes)
2 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour
1 tsp of baking soda
1/2 tsp of baking powder
1/2 tsp of salt
1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter (softened)
1 1/2 cup of sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
Ganache Filling
1 10oz package of semi-sweet chocolate chunks
10 oz (1 14/ cup) of heavy cream
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Start by creaming the butter in a large mixing bowl before mixing in the egg, sugar and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture until well incorporated.
Use a teaspoon and fill less than all the way to portion out the dough. We're using a lightly-greased mini muffin pan for our cups.
Bake for 8-10 minutes until they turn golden-brown. While the cookies are still warm, give them a poke with the handle of a spatula or a wooden dowel to make that nice cup shape we want.
In a medium-sized pot or double boiler, heat the cream and chocolate over medium heat, stirring constantly until combined.
When the your ganache is all mixed up and has that beautiful sheen, you're ready to remove it from the heat and set off to the side until it's time to fill.
Use a small spoon to pour your ganache into the cookie cups.
It can be very difficult to find marshmallow bits to top our cookies with, so we decided to use a pair of scissors to snip our mini marshmallows into teeny mallows. It helps to dust the scissors with corn starch to help keep the marshmallow from sticking.
After about 30 minutes or so, the ganache will cool and set and you'll be ready to serve.
With the yummy cookie and soft, chocolately ganache filling, these cute cups are so delicious, we know you won't be able to have just one!
