Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cream together unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla extract. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt for the chocolate dough. Mix in raspberry powder for the pink dough. Chill both for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop dough into balls and place on a lined baking sheet, creating a well in the center.
  3. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove and re-press centers, cool on a tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  4. Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until simmering, pour over chocolate chips, let sit, and mix until smooth. Add butter if desired.
  5. Fill each cookie with the warm ganache and decorate with toppings. Allow to set for 30 minutes before serving.
