Description

Soft and rich cosmic brownie cookies with a fudgy texture, topped with smooth chocolate ganache and classic rainbow sprinkles for a nostalgic homemade treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup salted butter, melted
  • 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp corn starch
  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup cosmic brownie sprinkles


Instructions

  1. In a stand mixer, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix on medium for 1 minute.
  2. Add eggs and mix on low until fully incorporated.
  3. Add flour, corn starch, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low until just combined.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and scoop 2–2.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie.
  5. Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes to chill.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  7. Place dough balls 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 9–10 minutes until edges are set.
  9. Cool cookies on baking sheet for 3 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  10. Heat heavy cream until simmering and pour over chopped chocolate. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  11. Add vanilla and whisk until smooth. Let ganache cool 15–30 minutes until spreadable.
  12. Spread ganache over cooled cookies, leaving a small border.
  13. Top with sprinkles and allow ganache to set before serving.

Notes

  1. Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading and improves texture.
  2. Do not overbake; centers should remain soft.
  3. Let ganache cool before spreading to avoid it running off cookies.
  4. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerate for firmer ganache.
