chocolate ganache

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate

💰Cheaper: chocolate syrup

Dark chocolate has less sugar.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a bowl, mix together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

In another bowl, cream together unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, until combined.

Drop spoonfuls of batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until set and slightly springy to the touch.

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.

In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then fold in powdered sugar and marshmallow fluff.

Once the cookies are cool, spread the creamy filling on the flat side of one cookie and top with another cookie to form a sandwich.

Melt chocolate to make ganache, then drizzle over the assembled pies.

Let the ganache set before serving.
