Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a large bowl, beat together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. In a saucepan, warm heavy cream until it simmers, then pour over chopped chocolate and stir until smooth.
  7. Chill the ganache for about 20 minutes until thickened but still pliable.
  8. Scoop dough, flatten, place ganache in the center, and wrap the dough around it to form balls.
