- 6 oz dark chocolate, melted
- 1 large egg
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably dark)

Topping:

Instructions
- Preheat oven: to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Melt butter and chocolate: in a microwave-safe bowl, stir until smooth; let cool 5 minutes.
- Prepare batter: Add eggs, sugars, vanilla, and corn syrup; whip on high speed until frothy. Fold in dry ingredients until combined.

- Make ganache: Heat cream, pour over chocolate, let sit, then stir until glossy.
- Assemble: Spread ganache on cooled cookies and top with sprinkles. Chill if desired.
Notes
- No need to chill the dough before baking.
- Light corn syrup ensures a fudgy texture.
- Pressing cookies post-baking yields chewy centers.
- Store airtight at room temperature or refrigerate for firmer ganache.
- Dough can be frozen or chilled for later use.
