Description
Boston Cream Pie Cookies are a delightful twist on the classic dessert, featuring rich vanilla pudding and chocolate ganache packed in a soft cookie.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
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 powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball slightly and create an indent in the center.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the vanilla pudding, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and thickened; refrigerate to set.
- For the chocolate ganache, heat heavy cream until simmering, pour over chocolate chips, let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Spoon chilled vanilla pudding into each cookie’s indent, drizzle with chocolate ganache, and let set before serving.
