Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (45 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
- ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream

Instructions
- Cream the softened butter with both sugars until light and pale. Add the egg and vanilla, and beat until smooth.
- Sift in the flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt, and optional espresso powder. Fold until you have a soft, slightly sticky dough.
- Wrap the dough and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven and line a sheet with parchment. Scoop or roll dough into uniform balls and press them slightly to make wells.
- Bake until the edges are set and the centers still look glossy.
- Heat the cream until just simmering, pour over chopped chocolate, and let sit before stirring until glossy.
- Add raspberry powder or color to the ganache, fold in gently.
- Spoon or pipe ganache into the wells of each cookie. Top with toppings while ganache is still soft.
- Let the cookies rest until the ganache firms up, then serve.
