INGREDIENTS

  • Cookie Dough

    • 🧈 ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 🧂 1 cup powdered sugar
    • 🥚 1 large egg
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    • 🧂 ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
    • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • sanding sugar

  • Ganache Filling

    • 🥛 ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
    • 🍫 2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped

STEPS

1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

2

Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add egg and vanilla, beating until incorporated.

3

Whisk together flour, cocoa, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Add to butter mixture and beat until combined, about 2 minutes.

4

Roll dough into 1 1/4-inch balls, roll in sanding sugar, and place on baking sheets 2 inches apart. Press the center of each ball with your thumb.

5

Bake cookies in the oven, rotating sheets halfway through for 8 to 10 minutes.

6

Let cookies cool for about 15 minutes on baking sheets. Press the indentations again if puffed.

7

Heat cream in a microwave until steaming, about 45 seconds. Add chocolate and stir until melted, then let cool for 5 minutes.

8

Fill thumbprint indentations with 1 teaspoon ganache. Refrigerate cookies for 10 minutes to set.
