Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line cookie sheets with parchment.
- Cream butter and brown sugar until fluffy, then add egg, vanilla, and dry ingredients until smooth.
- Scoop large cookies onto sheets and bake 10–12 minutes until set. Cool completely.
- Beat butter, sugar, cocoa, and vanilla until smooth. Melt chocolate chips with cream, cool, and mix into frosting.

Notes
Let the cookies cool completely before frosting. Warm cookies will melt the ganache.
Don’t overbake! The centers should stay soft for that Crumbl-style chewy bite. Once cool, frost generously — it makes the texture perfect.
