These Valentine Ganache Cookies are soft chocolate cookies filled with a rich chocolate ganache and topped with a sweet raspberry heart, making them the perfect treat for sharing love and sweetness.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Raspberry jam (seedless, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
  6. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to create an indentation in the center of each cookie.
  8. Bake for 8–10 minutes, then remove from oven and re-press the indentations if needed. Let cool completely.
  9. To make the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until just simmering, then pour over chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit for 1–2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
  10. Spoon ganache into the cookie centers and let set.
  11. Once ganache is set, add a small heart-shaped dollop of raspberry jam on top.

Notes

  • For cleaner hearts, use a piping bag or toothpick to shape the jam.
  • Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Chill dough for 15–30 minutes if it becomes too soft to handle.
