Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients until just combined.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto lined baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Cool on a wire rack.
- For the cream filling, whisk milk, sugar, cornstarch, and egg yolks in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened. Stir in butter and vanilla extract. Cool completely.
