Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate ganache or filling of choice

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Use your thumb (or the back of a spoon) to make an indentation in the center of each ball.
  • Fill the indentation with chocolate ganache or your choice of filling.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are set but still soft.
  • Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
