Ingredients
1
box
Duncan HinesĀ® Devils Food Cake Mix
1
tsp
baking powder
2
eggs
1/3
cup
vegetable oil
1
tsp
vanilla
1/4
cup
chocolate chips
For the ganache
1/2
cup
heavy cream
1/2
cup
chocolate chips
semi sweet
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
Combine all cookie ingredients in a mixing bowl. You can mix with a spatula, use a hand mixer, or a stand mixer.
If the dough seems too loose, chill it in the fridge for 30 minutes to stiffen up
Using a cookie dough scoop, drop your cookie dough balls onto the baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. They will be soft but they will stiffen while they cool.
Let them cool in the fridge or freezer to get them stiff enough to dip in the chocolate ganache. 30 minutes to an hour.
For the ganache
Heat the heavy cream either in the microwave or on the stove until boiling.
Stir in the chocolate chips once boiling until combined
Let cool in the fridge so it thickens and cools.
Assembly
Once the cookies and ganache are cooled, dip the cookies into the chocolate ganache and sprinkle with crushed candy canes.
Notes
Store the cookies in the fridge if you prefer dense and fudgier cookies.
