Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate
Baking and Binding Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup (65 g) powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Filling and Topping Ingredients:
- 1 package (3.4 ounces) vanilla instant pudding
- 4 ounces Cool Whip
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Prepare oven at 350F and cream butter with granulated sugar until light and airy. Incorporate egg, vanilla, oil, and powdered sugar into the mixture.
- Blend flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar, then gently fold into the butter mixture until fully integrated.
- Scoop dough into muffin top wells using one medium and one small scoop. Flatten each portion with a sugar-coated glass bottom to create distinct wells.
- Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes until edges are firm and set. Allow brief cooling in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
- Whisk pudding mix with milk until it reaches a thick, creamy consistency. Gently fold in Cool Whip to create a smooth filling.
- Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of pudding filling into each cookie well, ensuring even distribution.
- Create ganache by microwaving chocolate and cream in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until the mixture becomes perfectly smooth and glossy.
- Carefully top each filled cookie with 1 tablespoon of chocolate ganache, allowing it to slightly drape over the edges.
Notes
- Butter Temperature Matters: Ensure butter is softened at room temperature for easier creaming and smoother cookie texture.
- Precise Measurements: Use exact measuring cups for flour and sugar to maintain cookie consistency and prevent dry or flat results.
- Cooling Technique: Allow cookies to cool completely before filling to prevent soggy bottoms and maintain structural integrity.
- Dietary Adaptations: Swap regular pudding mix with sugar-free version for lower-calorie option, or use gluten-free flour blend for wheat-sensitive individuals.
