Ingredients:
- 170 grams of butter, room temperature
- 160 grams of light muscovado sugar
- 40 grams of granulated sugar
- Vanilla extract
- 2 egg yolks
- 40 grams of cocoa powder
- A pinch of salt
- 5 grams of baking powder
- 190 grams of all-purpose flour
Instructions:
- Start by beating together the room temperature butter with both types of sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the egg yolks to the mixture, continuing to mix for another 2 minutes.
- Gradually add the cocoa powder, salt and baking powder to the creamy mixture.
- Finish by gently incorporating the flour until just combined.
- Shape the dough into balls, create a small indentation in each, and refrigerate for about 1 hour to firm up; this prevents the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit) for 7 minutes. Next, use a glass to gently press around the cookies, creating a defined edge, and a teaspoon to deepen the indentations for the filling.
- Prepare the filling by pouring hot cream over 200 grams of chocolate, stir until smooth.
- Fill the cookies with ganache and let them cool completely before serving.
