RECIPE BY Southern Living

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.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (12-oz.) package semisweet chocolate morsels
  • Parchment paper
  • Bourbon Ganache

How to Make It

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. Beat butter and sugars at medium speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer until creamy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition. Add vanilla, beating until blended.

Step 2

Combine flour and next 2 ingredients in a small bowl; gradually add to butter mixture, beating at low speed just until blended. Stir in morsels just until combined. Drop dough by level spoonfuls onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets, using a small cookie scoop (about 1 1/8 inches).

Step 3

Bake at 350° for 12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from baking sheets to wire racks, and cool completely (about 30 minutes).

Step 4

Spread Bourbon Ganache on flat side of half of cookies (about 1 Tbsp. per cookie); top with remaining cookies. Cover and chill cookies 2 hours or until ganache is firm.

Followed the recipe exactly. Everyone loved these with and without the ganache. Oh, I did use dark chocolate in the ganache. Very rich!

Everyone loves them

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!

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.
