Ingredients
  

Cookie Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Ganache Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup strawberry puree (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 ounces dark chocolate (chopped)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add Egg and Flavor: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until no floury spots remain.
  6. Shape the Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls, placing them on baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
Baking
  1. Bake: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until just set. They should be soft to the touch.
Ganache Preparation
  1. Prepare the Ganache: While the cookies cool, heat the heavy cream until just simmering, then pour over chopped dark chocolate in a bowl.
  2. Add Strawberry Puree: Let it sit for a few minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy. Gently fold in the strawberry puree.
Assembly
  1. Sandwich the Cookies: Spread a generous layer of strawberry ganache on the bottom of one cookie and top with another to create a sandwich.
  2. Dust and Serve: Dust the assembled cookies with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

For a lighter version, use coconut oil instead of butter. To keep cookies soft, take them out slightly undercooked.
