Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture until a dough forms.
  4. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until lightly golden. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
  5. In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. In a separate bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, cornstarch, and egg yolks until smooth. Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture while whisking constantly. Return this mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat until thickened, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and butter. Let cool completely.
  6. Carefully slice each cookie in half horizontally. Spoon or pipe a small amount of cooled pastry cream onto the bottom half of each cookie. Place the top half back on to create a sandwich.
  7. In a small saucepan over low heat, warm heavy cream until it is just warm but not boiling. Pour it over chopped semi-sweet chocolate in a bowl and stir until smooth. Drizzle this glaze over filled cookies or dip their tops for an elegant finish.
  8. Allow time for chilling briefly if desired to set the glaze before serving at room temperature.
