Time & Serves
Ingredients
1 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
1 cup Granular Sugar-Free Sweetener
1 large Egg
1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
1 1/4 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Instant Coffee
1/4 teaspoon Salt
12 ounces Dark Chocolate (70% cacao), chopped
3/4 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
Instructions
Place the butter and sugar-free sweetener into a large bowl and beat it using a hand mixer until it is fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Whisk the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, coffee, and salt in a large bowl until well combined.
Add the gluten-free flour mixture to the butter mixture. Fold it in using a silicone spatula until well combined.
Using a tablespoon, scoop the cookie dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing each cookie 1-inch apart.
Roll each cookie into a ball. Use your thumb to make an imprint in each cookie. Refrigerate the cookies for 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350 °F.
Remove the cookies from the fridge and place them into the oven. Bake the cookies for 5 minutes. Then, rotate the baking sheet and bake the cookies for another 5 minutes.
Remove the cookies from the oven. Use the back of a measuring spoon to make another indent if the cookies have lost their shape.
Let the cookies cool for 10 minutes. Place them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Place the dark chocolate into a medium bowl.
Place the heavy cream into a small pot and set it over medium-low heat. Heat the heavy cream until it comes to a gentle boil.
Pour the heavy cream over the chocolate and stir until it melts and the ganache is smooth.
Add a tablespoon of chocolate ganache to each cookie and let them sit for 5-10 minutes until the ganache sets.
