Boston Cream Cookies

Ingredients

• Heavy cream (1/2 cup)
• Semi (sweet chocolate - 4 ounces)
• Vanilla custard (1 cup)
• Milk (1/4 cup)
• Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
• Egg (1)
• Granulated sugar (3/4 cup)
• Unsalted butter (1/2 cup, softened)
• Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
• Baking powder (1 teaspoon)
• All (purpose flour - 1 1/2 cups)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
6. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once the cookies are cooled, spoon a dollop of vanilla custard onto the flat side of half of the cookies.
9. Top each custard-filled cookie with another cookie, flat side down, to create a sandwich.
10. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate and heavy cream together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
11. Dip each cookie sandwich into the chocolate ganache, allowing any excess to drip off.
12. Place the dipped cookies on a wire rack to allow the chocolate to set.
13. Once the chocolate has set, the Boston Cream Cookies are ready to be enjoyed!
