Directions:
For the Cookies:
- Line an 8in (20cm) square baking pan with parchment paper. Set it aside.
- In a large bowl, place the flour, cornstarch, sugar, and salt. Whisk to combine.
- Add the melted butter and vanilla. Stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until it forms a dough.
- Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Using a fork, poke holes all over the dough to prevent air bubbles.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly brown on the edges. Do not over bake, or it will be too hard to cut the cookie into bars.
- Let it cool completely inside the pan.
For the Ganache:
- In a medium bowl, place the chocolate and heavy cream. Melt using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until melted.
- Spread the ganache evenly over the cookie base. Set aside. Note: if you use milk chocolate or white chocolate, the ganache may not set properly since the percentage of cocoa solids is different for each type of chocolate.
- Melt the white chocolate and make some strokes over the ganache using a spoon.
- Using a skewer or a pointed knife, create swirls all over the ganache.
- Refrigerate for 30-40 minutes or until the ganache is completely set.
- Unmold the cookie and cut it into bars.
- Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
