    • 8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter and sugar together in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer) until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Don’t overmix!
  4. Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles with a rubber spatula.
  5. Scoop dough by rounded tablespoons and roll into balls. Place cookies on prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 1/2 inches between them.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before decorating.
  7. Make the chocolate ganache: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until simmering. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips in a heat-resistant bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy.
  8. Let the ganache cool slightly, until it thickens enough to spread. Spread a spoonful of ganache over the cooled cookies.
  9. Let the ganache set completely before storing the cookies in an airtight container.

20. Pecan Sandies with Chocolate Fudge Filling

These melt-in-your-mouth pecan sandies feature a buttery shortbread crust filled with a decadent chocolate fudge center. Topped with chopped pecans, they’re a truly irresistible treat.

Recipe

Ingredients

For the Cookies:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans

For the Chocolate Fudge Filling:

  • 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups pecan halves (optional, for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour. Gradually add the flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chopped pecans.
  4. Roll tablespoons of dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving a couple of inches between each cookie. You can gently press down on the tops of the dough balls with a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
  5. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets before filling them.
  6. Make the Chocolate Fudge Filling: While the cookies cool, prepare the filling. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  7. Assemble the Cookies: Once the cookies are cool, spread a teaspoon of chocolate fudge filling in the center of each cookie. Top with a pecan half, if desired.
  8. Let the chocolate filling set completely before serving. You can store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
