Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for pastry cream)
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for pastry cream)
- 1 tbsp butter (for pastry cream)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Make the Pastry Cream: In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together milk, sugar, and cornstarch. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks. Slowly add warm milk mixture to yolks to temper, then return everything to the saucepan. Stir until thickened (about 5–7 minutes), then remove from heat. Stir in butter and vanilla. Cool completely in the fridge.
- Make the Cookies: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Cream butter and sugars. Add egg and vanilla, then mix in dry ingredients. Scoop dough into balls and flatten slightly on a baking sheet. Bake for 8–10 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Make the Ganache: Heat cream until steaming. Pour over chocolate chips and let sit 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Assemble: Spoon or pipe cooled pastry cream onto half the cookies. Top with another cookie to make a sandwich. Spoon ganache over the top and let it set.
Notes
- Ensure the pastry cream is completely cooled before assembling the cookies.
- Store assembled cookies in the refrigerator for best texture.
- These cookies can be made ahead of time and assembled just before serving.
