Double Chocolate Chip Cookies with Bourbon Ganache
Double Chocolate Chip Cookies are decadent enough, but sandwich them between a Bourbon Ganache and this chocolate chip cookie has been elevated to new heights.

I love bourbon in my baked goods and thought this would be a fun recipe to try out to send to my friends across the country for Christmas. Since making them, I've had friends beg me for more every year- one friend even saying they are her favorite cookies ever! I follow the recipe exactly, using semisweet for the ganache and dark chocolate for the cookies themselves. A favorite of mine!
Followed the recipe exactly. Everyone loved these with and without the ganache. Oh, I did use dark chocolate in the ganache. Very rich!
So not worth the time and effort. Thought they'd be a fun Mardi Gras treat that didn't require a stop at the grocery store. Cookies are cakey and very average. The ganache is just plain icky. The bourbon and chocolate don't seem right together. The ganache takes every minute of the 2 hours (or whatever was directed) refrigerated to set up. Big thumbs down.
