Ingredients
For the Cookie Base:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Pastry Cream Filling:
1 cup whole milk
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large egg yolks
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
For the Chocolate Glaze:
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
Instructions
1. Prepare the Cookie Base:
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 powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Use a tablespoon to scoop out dough and roll it into small balls (about 1-inch in diameter). Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack.
2. Make the Pastry Cream Filling:
In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it begins to simmer (but not boil).
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with sugar and cornstarch until smooth and pale.
