Ingredients

  • 1 cup all‑purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup melted semi‑sweet chocolate chips or chunks
  • Topping: ½ cup semi‑sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • ¼–⅓ cup rainbow candy‑coated chips (mini M&M’s or rainbow chips)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  4. Stir in eggs and vanilla, then mix in melted chocolate until uniform.
  5. Fold dry ingredients into wet until a thick cookie dough forms.
  6. Scoop dough into balls (~16) and place on prepared sheets, flattening slightly.
  7. Bake 9–11 minutes until edges set and centers are soft and crackly.
  8. Let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before topping.
  9. To make ganache, heat heavy cream until hot, pour over chocolate chips, let sit 1 minute, then stir smooth.
  10. Spread ganache on cooled cookies, sprinkle rainbow candies on top, and let set before serving.

Notes

  • Use dark cocoa powder or add 1 tsp espresso powder for even deeper chocolate flavor.
  • Mix in extra chocolate chunks or mini marshmallows into dough for texture variety.
  • Substitute crushed candy or white chocolate drizzle for toppings.
  • Cookies freeze well undecorated—add ganache and candies after thawing.
  • For smaller cookies, reduce scoop size and bake 1–2 minutes less.
