Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 2 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour
  • ¾ cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Custard Filling

  • 2 cups Milk
  • ½ cup Granulated Sugar
  • 3 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 3 large Egg Yolks
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ cup Powdered Sugar

Chocolate Ganache Topping

  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 2 tbsp Heavy Cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Dough: Start by creaming softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract, then gradually mix in the flour to form a smooth, pliable dough. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
  2. Bake the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll the chilled dough into small balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before filling.
  3. Make the Custard Filling: In a saucepan, whisk together milk, sugar, cornstarch, and egg yolks over medium heat. Stir continuously until thickened to a smooth pudding consistency. Remove from heat and mix in vanilla extract and powdered sugar. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface, and chill until firm.
  4. Prepare the Chocolate Ganache: Gently melt semi-sweet chocolate chips with a splash of heavy cream in a microwave or double boiler. Stir until shiny and smooth, adjusting cream quantity for desired thickness.
  5. Assemble the Cookies: Spread or pipe a generous amount of chilled custard onto one cookie, then sandwich with another. Dip the tops into the chocolate ganache or spoon the glaze over each sandwich. Let the chocolate set before serving.

Notes

  • Chill the Dough to prevent spreading and maintain cookie shape.
  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients for smooth dough blending and even texture.
  • Whisk Custard Constantly to avoid lumps and burns for silky smooth filling.
  • Allow Cookies to Cool Completely before filling to prevent melting custard.
  • Store in Airtight Containers to keep cookies fresh and moist for days.
