Description
Boston Cream Pie Cookies are a delightful twist on the classic dessert, featuring soft cookies filled with vanilla pudding and topped with rich chocolate ganache.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup vanilla pudding (prepared, chilled)
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
- Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan or microwave until steaming (but not boiling).
- Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy. Let cool slightly to thicken.
- Spoon or pipe a dollop of vanilla pudding onto the flat side of half the cookies.
- Top with the remaining cookies to create sandwiches, pressing gently to secure.
- Spoon or drizzle the chocolate ganache over the tops of the assembled cookie sandwiches. Let the ganache set before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the vanilla pudding is well-chilled for the best texture.
- Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips for the ganache.
