Really good. Should they be super doughy / fudgey in the middle? Worried I underbaked, but followed instructions to a tee.
Chahinez
Crumbl is known for partially underbaked cookies to give them their uniquely soft texture so that’s what I tried to emulate. It should be safe to eat, but if it feels worrisome then you can bake for a bit longer.
Rii
Hi, will it be okay to make the dough the night before and bake it the next day? This recipe looks so amazing but I am pressed for time so I have to divide the workload over two days.
Chahinez
Yes that would be completely fine 🙂
Jess
I have made these more times than I can count, and they are still my favorites! They taste so good chilled, and freeze beautifully.

Two quick questions.
1. How much is a cup of butter in terms of sticks or tablespoons?
2. I used Hershey’s dutch process cocoa powder. It seems to be about 10% cocoa fat. Online, I have seen some that is more around 22% fat. Which one do you recommend? Is there a specific brand that you recommend?goo
I made the cookies with 1 stick of butter (1/4 pound) and Hershey cocoa. They came out good. The dough was stiff. I was wondering if they could be even better.
Chahinez
A cup of butter is 2 sticks and I don’t use any specific cocoa powder brand in particular just because I go through so much of it haha but the Hershey cocoa should be fine.
Betz
Very rich and chocolatey! I changed it up a bit and cooked them n silecone cocoa bomb molds – came out so good and cute!
Chahinez
Thank you!
Erin

Chahinez
OMG that’s awesome! I hope they come out good!

Your search ends here for the perfect dupe of this cookie. Super easy to make, they keep their shape while baking, and they are intensley chocolatey without being too cloyingly sweet. We made these for my daughter’s birthday yesterday and they were really good. If you’re on the fence about trying this recipe – do it! You won’t be disappointed.
Chahinez
Thank you so much!
Michelle
Does the chocolate ganache harden enough to stack the cookies?
Chahinez
When chilled yes. I would still separate each cookie layer with wax paper to keep the cookies from sticking.
Susan
Hi, I was wondering…can I make these with white chocolate chips? Would that work when you melt them in the pan with the butter??
Chahinez
You sure can! I believe it should be able to work.
