Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookie Base

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (substitute with whole wheat flour if desired)
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder (ensure it’s fresh for best results)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda (enhances the leavening effect)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt (use sparingly to balance sweetness)
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (contributes to the soft texture)
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar (consider brown sugar for a deeper flavor)
  • 1 large Egg (acts as a binder and moisture source)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (almond extract can be a delightful alternative)

For the Custard Filling

  • 1 cup Vanilla Custard (use store-bought or homemade)

For the Chocolate Drizzle

  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (feel free to swap in dark chocolate)
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil (coconut oil is a good substitute)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly combined to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a mixer, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. This step is essential for a tender cookie texture.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined, which helps bind the ingredients and adds flavor.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients until just integrated, avoiding overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
  6. Scoop Dough: Scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each scoop to allow for spreading during baking.
  7. Bake Cookies: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn lightly golden. Once baked, remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Create Indentations: Press an indentation into the center of each cooled cookie carefully to hold the custard filling.
  9. Fill with Custard: Using a piping bag or small spoon, fill the indentation of each cookie with vanilla custard, distributing evenly.
  10. Melt Chocolate and Drizzle: Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with vegetable oil until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the custard-topped cookies.
  11. Set Chocolate: Allow the chocolate to set for about 10-15 minutes at room temperature before serving, ensuring a firm and glossy finish.

Notes

  • For a healthier option, substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
  • Ensure baking powder is fresh to achieve the best rise and texture.
  • You can use almond extract instead of vanilla extract for a different flavor profile.
  • If you prefer a richer chocolate flavor, swap semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate chips.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
  • Homemade vanilla custard can enhance the flavor, but store-bought is a convenient alternative.
