Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2–3 tbsp milk

Vanilla Custard Filling

  • 1 cup milk
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Chocolate Glaze

  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Dough: Cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour and baking powder) alternating with milk until a soft dough forms.
  2. Shape and Bake the Cookies: Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Let cool completely.
  3. Make the Vanilla Custard Filling: In a saucepan, whisk together milk, sugar, egg yolks, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens into a smooth custard. Chill until firm.
  4. Assemble the Cookies: Spread a generous layer of chilled vanilla custard filling on the flat side of one cookie. Sandwich with another cookie to create a custard-filled cookie sandwich.
  5. Glaze with Chocolate: Melt the semi-sweet chocolate in a double boiler or microwave until smooth. Dip or drizzle the top of each cookie sandwich with the melted chocolate. Let set at room temperature or chill briefly in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Use room temperature softened butter and eggs for easier mixing and better texture.
  • Do not overbake the cookies to keep them soft; remove when edges are lightly golden.
  • Chill the custard filling thoroughly before assembling to prevent melting of the cookie.
  • Bake on parchment paper for even cooking and easy removal.
  • Temper the chocolate glaze for a shiny and professional finish if desired.
