Scale
- 1 cup Butter (softened)
- 1 cup Sugar
- 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 2 1/3 cups Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 12 Tablespoons Salted Butter (3/4 cup or 1 1/2 sticks, softened)
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 3 cups Powdered Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Light Corn Syrup
- 3 to 4 Tablespoons Heavy Cream or Milk

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, sugar, and brown sugar for 4 minutes, until light and fluffy. Scrape the sides of the bowl.
- Add eggs and vanilla and mix for 1 minute longer.
- Add cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, salt and mix just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Scoop the dough onto parchment paper lined, light-colored baking sheets, spaced at least two-inches apart. If you want flatter cookies, lightly press down on the cookie dough.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes. Do NOT overbake the cookies as they will continue to bake once they are removed from the oven. Set aside to cool.
- In a bowl, mix butter for 1-2 minutes or until completely softened. Add cocoa powder, powdered sugar, corn syrup, and cream or milk, and mix until completely smooth and creamy. Add more heavy cream or milk as needed.
- Spread on cooled chocolate cookies. Sprinkle with chocolate sprinkles, if so desired.
Notes
- For softer cookies, do not press down on the dough.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
