Ingredients
  

  • 142 grams brown butter cold
  • 5 ounces dark brown sugar
  • 2 ounces light brown sugar
  • 2 ounces granulated sugar
  • 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon coffee granules
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 143 grams all purpose flour
  • 98 grams cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup semi sweet and bittersweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon milk

Ganache

  • 6 ounces heavy cream warm
  • 6 ounces semisweet and bittersweet chocolate chopped

Rainbow Chips

  • 1/4 cup rainbow chips

Instructions
 

  • Combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and baking soda, salt, coffee granules, cocoa powder and chocolate chips all together in a bowl and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350F and prep a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and spraying it with cooking spray.
  • Cream the cold butter for a few minutes until softened and sticking to sides of the bowl. On medium-low, gradually add in the sugars. Then, add in the eggs and mix to combine.
  • Turn the mixer off and dump in the dry ingredients all at once then turn on to the lowest setting before bumping back up to medium-low. Mix for 30 seconds or until just combined and flour streaks are still visible.
  • Add in the milk and combine for another few seconds until no more flour shows and the mixture resembles cookie dough. Don't overmix!
  • Use a large ice cream scoop or two spoons to scoop out the dough onto your prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 10 minutes and remove from the oven. Tap the baking sheet gently but firmly a few times on the counter once it's out of the oven. Then let the cookies cook on the pan out of the oven for a couple more minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool.
  • Microwave or heat up the heavy cream. Then pour over the chopped chocolate in a medium-sized bowl. Let the mixture sit for five minutes before stirring well. Continue stirring until the mixture resembles a shiny chocolate sauce. The more you mix, the shinier it will be. Once you have the ganache done, set it aside at room temp to cool slightly.
  • Once the ganache is slightly cooled, spoon over a bit over the cookie and swirl with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon. Sprinkle a few rainbow chips over the top. Allow ganache to set for another 15 minutes or so and then enjoy!

Notes

  • You can freeze the finished cookies for up to six months in a container. Leave the ganache and sprinkles off until you decide to have them.
  • Store in sealed container for up to four days, but best within the first couple of days. 
  • Use anywhere from 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup chocolate chips in recipe. It's up to you. 
  • Don't overmix and don't overbake.
