Cosmic Brownie Cookies

INGREDIENTS

• 3/4 cup butter, melted
• 1/3 cup cocoa powder
• 2 whole large eggs
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup milk chocolate, melted
• 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

CHOCOLATE GANACHE

• 1 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/3 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup rainbow chips

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In a small bowl mix together melted butter and cocoa powder until smooth and there are no lumps.
2. In a separate bowl whisk the eggs brown sugar and vanilla extract until it is pale and fluffy. This will take a minute or two to incorporate enough air into the eggs for them to thicken and get a little bit fluffy. 
3. Add the melted chocolate and the butter mixture to the eggs and mix until fully combined.
4. Fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as soon as the flour streaks are gone, you are dong mixing.
5. Scoop large balls for dough (about 3 Tablespoons) onto a baking sheet, and chill for 20 minutes.
6. Preheat oven to 350º F.
7. Slightly flatten the cookies as they will not spread much at all during baking. Bake for 11-12 minutes. The cookies will be completely set and just dry on the top. You do not want to over bake them or they will harden and dry out. 
8. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once the cookies are cooled, make the ganache by heating the heavy cream in a bowl for 30 seconds. Add the chocolate chips and let it stand for 1 minute. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
10. Place the chocolate ganache in the fridge for 5 minutes before spreading it on the cookies. You want it to be cool enough it will not run off the cookies.
11. Using a spoon, spread ganache over the top of each cookie and then sprinkle with the rainbow chips. 
12. Let the chocolate set up and serve.
