Ingredients

Cookies:

  • 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter melted
  • 1 ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs

Topping:

  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • Cosmic brownie sprinkles

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, dark cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until well combined.
    Mixing wet ingredients for cookie dough
  • Add the eggs and beat on low speed, just until incorporated.
  • Pour the dry mixture into the wet and mix on low speed until combined.
    Adding dry ingredients to wet slowly to make the dough
  • Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place on the baking sheets, leaving 2 inches of space between each dough ball.
  • Place the cookie sheets of dough balls in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.
  • While the dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • Once the dough balls are finished chilling, bake at 350 F for 9-10 minutes until set around the edges. Remove from the oven and cool on the cookie sheets for 5 minutes then transfer to wire cooling racks.
    Baked cookies ready to add topping
  • Pour the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream into a microwave safe bowl and heat on high for 30 seconds. Stir well, then heat for another 20-30 seconds until the chocolate is melted. Continue to stir until fully combined and smooth.
  • Spoon the chocolate frosting onto the center of each cookie and spread out towards the edges.
  • Sprinkle each cookie with Cosmic Brownie sprinkles while chocolate frosting is still wet.
