Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup chocolate chips

Topping

  • 1 cup melted chocolate
  • ¼ cup candy-coated chocolates

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking your cookies evenly.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, which helps create a tender texture.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract thoroughly to combine and incorporate air into the dough.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients and Chocolate Chips: Gradually stir in the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips until the batter is uniformly combined without overmixing.
  5. Scoop and Bake: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, place cookie dough portions onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
  6. Cool Completely: Allow the cookies to cool fully on a wire rack to prevent the topping from melting when applied.
  7. Spread Melted Chocolate: Once cooled, evenly spread the melted chocolate over the tops of the cookies for a rich, glossy finish.
  8. Add Candy-Coated Chocolates: While the chocolate topping is still wet, press candy-coated chocolates into each cookie to decorate and add crunch.
  9. Let Set: Leave the cookies to set at room temperature until the chocolate topping hardens, making them ready to serve.

Notes

  • To soften the butter quickly, leave it at room temperature for about an hour or microwave in short bursts.
  • Ensure cookies have cooled completely before adding the topping to avoid melting.
  • Use room temperature egg for better mixing and texture.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • For extra richness, use dark chocolate chips or semi-sweet chocolate.
