- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips (for ganache)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make ganache, heat heavy cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to simmer.
- Pour the hot cream over the milk chocolate chips in a bowl and let sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth.
- Spread ganache over cooled cookies and sprinkle with rainbow candy-coated chips.
- Allow ganache to set before serving.
Notes
