Well, there aren’t many things in life that are better than a Chocolate Chip Cookie. Except maybe a Chocolate Chip Cookie dipped in Ganache!!!! Obviously, right! So, I of course had to make these immediately. I had an excuse though, you see, it was my 5 year anniversary with my boyfriend the other day. 5 whole years!! Say what? Who would have thought. Me? In a 5 year relationship? I couldn’t even tolerate a 2 week relationship before this one. But here I am, 5 years later, still alive and kicking!
So to celebrate I made 5 of these Ganache Dipped Chocolate Chip Cookies. Well, I actually made more than 5, but I only gave 5 to my boyfriend. One for each year – get it 🙂 And I gave the rest to my neighbors, because I couldn’t have these sitting around in the fridge just starring at me every. single. time. I. opened. the. fridge. It’s too tempting.
They are pretty amazing. And super decadent.
And pretty too!
Okay so he really got 4 and 7/8 cookie because I took a bite of one. I had to make sure they were okay! Just doing my job 🙂
Ganache Dipped Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter at room temp
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cup AP flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 cups Chocolate Chips
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 oz bittersweet chocolate
Instructions
- Cream together the butter and sugars in a mixer. Add the eggs and vanilla, making sure to scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl. Add the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder and mix on low until everything is incorporated.
- Chill the dough in the refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
- Scoop out a 1/4 cup size of dough and roll it into a ball. Roll it around in some Chocolate Chips and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Place 6 cookies on a sheet since they will spread due to their size. Bake for 12-14 minutes until just slightly golden around the edges. Remove from oven and let rest on the baking sheet. Note The might look a little under baked in the middle - but don't fear!! They will continue to bake a bit once removed from the oven.
- While the cookies are cooling, go ahead and make the ganache.
- In a small pot, bring the cream to a low simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the bittersweet chocolate with a wooden spoon until fully incorporated. Dip half of each cookie into the ganache and set on parchment paper to dry
i’ve got to hide this post from my hubby or else i’ll never hear the end of it til i make these! they look incredible!
This looks delish! I’ve gotta try this.
Chocolate with more chocolate?! Great combo 🙂 Think these would go well with some Baileys for St Patrick’s day!
These look so yummy!
I must have some anniversary coming up as an excuse to make these. Chocolate and chocolate. Love it!
Happy 5 years to you two cuties!! These look the the kinda cookies I could not keep away from if they were in my path. Especially dipped in ganache 🙂
They are very pretty and I bet they tasted wonderful. Congratulations on your 5 year mark.
Wow – pretty!
Making cookies more sinful? I’m in.
Gaby, these look perfect. Anything with ganache usually is!
Hubba hubba! These look insanely delish!
hello heaven. nice to meet you! i am a sucker for chocolate chip cookies!

5 years, wow! Congrats! I wouldn’t mind getting some cookies like this on an anniversary, they look quite delicious!
Those chocolate chip cookies look decadent even without the ganache!
Oh my…this is bad, very very bad! But I think I will have to try. As if I needed another reason to eat chocolate chip cookies.
Gaby, these look incredible!!! I need one right now. 🙂
What a way to celebrate – congratulations, Gaby!
Great idea! I love it!

Those cookies look perfect. Happy anniversary!
Happy 5 years!!!
Those cookies are going to be made this weekend…. 🙂
What a great idea to dip them in ganache. This is going to take my killer cookies to another level. Thanks for the idea!
I have baked these cookies many times and they always turn out fabuliciously! I made these a few days ago while visiting my boyfriend’s father and of course he loved them :). He even had one for breakfast! Thank you for sharing such wonderful cookies!! You are so pro <33. Also, grats on the anniversary! He must be totally whipped with such brilliant cookies :D!
Hi! I’ve made these a couple of times.. They taste super, but I don’t know how to get them dry off the parchment paper.. The ganache sticks to the paper and takes a bit of cookie with it. 🙁 I’m not a baker, so I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong, or if I’m not waiting long enough?
Do you make any modifications to the recipe for high altitude baking? Thanks!
Hi Sara! I don’t have any experience with high alt baking – so I’m not entirely sure I can offer any advice. I did find this link that has a ton of info so I hope it helps – http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipe/high-altitude-baking.html
Thanks!
I love this recipe! The Cookies are Delish as is! Last night I just made a special batch for a co-worker’s b-day. I skipped the Ganache and substituted dark chocolate chips and added 8 slices of diced candied bacon (special request by the b-day boy). The b-day boy was blown away as was the rest of the office. 🙂
LOVE the addition of bacon!! genius 🙂
My only suggestion is don’t pre-heat your oven until AFTER your dough has chilled. Otherwise you’ll be leaving your oven for a good 2 hours. 🙁
Its so delicious why don’t you have your own cookie restaurant. Everyone will like it
