Description
Soft vanilla cookies filled with smooth custard and topped with rich chocolate — a fun twist on the classic Boston Cream Pie in bite-size form.
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
½ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup vanilla custard (homemade or store-bought)
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes).
Beat in egg and vanilla extract until combined.
Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until incorporated.
Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden. Let cookies cool completely.
Use a spoon or your thumb to gently press an indentation into the center of each cookie.
Fill each indentation with ~1 tsp vanilla custard.
Melt chocolate chips with vegetable oil in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between.
Drizzle melted chocolate over filled cookies. Let set for 10–15 minutes before serving.
Notes
Chill cookies briefly before filling for cleaner, neater custard wells.
Refrigerate cookie bites after assembling for best texture and to keep the custard fresh.
Use pastry bags or squeeze bottles for neater chocolate drizzles.
Great make-ahead dessert—store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
