Scale
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add egg and vanilla, beating until combined.
- Gradually add dry ingredients until just mixed. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. Allow cookies to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, heat heavy cream until just boiling, then pour over chopped chocolate. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth to make ganache.

Notes
- Ensure cookies are cooled before applying ganache for a smooth finish.
- You can refrigerate the ganache briefly for easier spreading.
