Directions:

Chocolate Cookies

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, add the butter, brown sugar, and sugar. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat until light and creamy, about 3 minutes.
  • Add egg yolks, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined. Scraping down sides of bowl as needed.
  • Add dry ingredients and mix on low speed until combined. Scrape down sides of bowl. 
  • Using a cookie scoop, scoop about 2-3 tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheet, about 3 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until cookies spread out and the top begins to crack (be careful not to overbake the cookies, they should be soft when removed from oven). Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chocolate Ganache

  • Heat up heavy cream in a microwave or on the stove until steaming and very hot, but not boiling.
  • Add chocolate chips to a small bowl. Pour hot cream over chocolate and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir until the mixture becomes smooth and glossy.

Green Icing

  • In a small bowl, stir together powdered sugar,1 tablespoon heavy cream, and green food coloring. Add more heavy cream if needed to reach the correct consistency. Add to a piping bag, cut a small whole into the tip of the bag.

Decorate

  • To assemble the cookies, smooth the ganache over the top of each cookie. Pipe the green icing on top to look like vines. Add a candy pumpkin to each. Enjoy!
