Chocolate Ganache Cookies Recipe
I can’t really take credit for these decadent cookies, though. These cookies were my husband’s idea.
Even though he isn’t a freak about chocolate like my son and I are, he still came up with the idea of these little babies! I was talking with him about my ganache recipe that I have also shared with you and his idea for this cookie was born.
I love it when that happens!
How to Make Chocolate Ganache Cookies
For the chocolate cookies, I prepared the cookie dough and then rolled them in a coarse sugar before baking. The sugar on these looks like like little diamonds all over these cookies. It’s almost like the are little gems themselves!
For the ganache filling, I used my favorite recipe and then let it cool completely. Then, once the cookies were also cooled completely, I added a scoop of ganache to the flat side of one cookie and then sandwiched it with another cookie.
They are to die for!
Here’s my chocolate ganache cookie recipe. Make ’em soon!

I happened to come by this recipe and tried it.It was a very easy recipe. I gave the cookies to my buddy because he was having a family christmas party. He told me everyone there wanted the recipe and they knew it wasn’t mine to begin with. You know when you have something good and you don’t want to share it? we’ll this was me and my buddy told them I was stingy when I find a great recipe as he laughed of course. I just wanted you to know this is a awesome recipe and thank you for sharing it.
Thanks, Mark, I’m thrilled your friends loved these cookies.
Just made these and they are delicious! The cookies turned out bigger than I expected (and took a few extra minutes to bake) but they are easy to make and super chocolatey. I have already sent the recipe to some fellow chocolate fans to try.
Thanks
I’m so glad you loved these cookies, Jen! Hope your friends do as well. Thanks!
I bake a lot to share with friends, family and co-workers and consider myself to be a seasoned veteran. My office mate–who has sampled literally dozens of different desserts of mine over the past five years, from chocolate chip cookies, to strawberry rhubarb pie, to pavlova–said these were the best thing I’d ever made. I was almost offended, except the cookies really are that good. Definitely recommend.
Thanks so much, Mellie! So glad you and your friend loved the cookies.
How are these stored? Want to make as christmas cookies…
Hi Madi,
You will store in airtight container up to 2 days. Then store in refrigerator in airtight container up to week. Enjoy! xo
This looks amazing and I want to try to make it! I would just like to clarify, is that 1 cup 2 sticks butter = 2 cups butter? Or do you mean 1 cup butter? Thanks!
Hi Ming,
You use 2 sticks, which equals 1 cup of butter. I think the ( ) got removed by mistake. Thanks! Hope you enjoy them! xo
I want to make these cookies eggless..what should I substitute eggs with?
Can you suggest a substitute for eggs in your recipes as we are vegetarian
I made these tonight and I bake several times a week. These are the best cookies I have ever made or eaten! I will be sharing this recipe with my family and friends! White chocolate is my favorite, so I made a white chocolate ganache to put on half of the cookies and they were amazing too! Thank you for this delicious recipe!❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much, Suzy! So glad you loved them.
