Boston Cream Pie Cookies
Soft, flavorful cookies filled with rich pastry cream and topped with a luscious chocolate glaze that encapsulates all the flavors of the iconic Boston Cream Pie in every bite.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup pastry cream store-bought or homemade
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This will take about 3-4 minutes.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely.
- Once the cookies are cool, pipe or spoon a small amount of pastry cream onto the flat side of half the cookies, and then sandwich them with the other half.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Drizzle or spread the melted chocolate over the filled cookies. Allow the chocolate to set slightly before serving.
