Ingredients:

FO THE COOKIES:

• 1 1/2 cups flour

• ▢1/2 tsp salt
• ▢1/2 tsp baking powder
• ▢3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temp.  I used salted, literally have no idea what the diff is
• ▢3/4 cup light brown sugar
• ▢1/4 cup  white sugar
• ▢2 egg yolks, at room temperature
• ▢1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

FOR THE GANACHE

• 1 cup WHITE chocolate chips
• ▢
  1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
• ▢
  sprinkles for sprinkling
• METHOD:
• • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Add flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder to a medium sized bowl. Whisk to combine, then set aside.
  • Add butter, brown sugar and granulated white sugar to a large bowl. Cream together with an electric mixer for two minutes.
  • Add the egg yolks and vanilla to the butter/sugar mixture and mix until pale in color and fluffy, 1-2 minutes.
  • Add in the dry ingredients and mix just until combined.
  • Scoop the dough into 34 portions, then roll into balls. (About 1 tablespoon of dough.)
  • Transfer the dough to the baking sheets.
  • Make the indent 
  • Let chill for an hour.

  NOW BAKE DEM COOKIES UP
• 350 for about 10 minutes

make the indent again, because it will have baked away a bit

I used a cup to kinds swirl around on top, to make the cookies back to being the same size

MAKE THE GANACHE FOO

Microwave cream till almost boiling and then add chips, mixing until smoothly combined

After the cookies bake, let them rest like 5 mins, so that they cool a bit before adding the ganache

decorate....idk, Im not sure I like the way it looks

meh, maybe they dont look great

BUT She likes them so, they're good!

The white chocolate with the Dutch cocoa is a rich combination, but somehow has a very clean taste.

LOOK TO THE COOKIE, ELAINE!
