Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (310 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup (170 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (360 ml) whole milk
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 3 tbsp (24 g) cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp (28 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (90 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp (14 g) unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Cover and chill for 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop dough onto the sheets using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden. Cool completely.
  5. In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until steaming (but not boiling). In a bowl, whisk together the sugar, egg yolks, and cornstarch until smooth. Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
  6. Return to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring, until thickened (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat, stir in butter and vanilla, and cool completely.
  7. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between, until smooth and glossy.
  8. Spread a dollop of custard onto the flat side of half the cookies. Top with the remaining cookies to form sandwiches. Spoon or drizzle the chocolate glaze over the tops. Let set for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Chill the dough to prevent spreading, stir constantly when making custard to avoid lumps, and test the glaze consistency by adding cream if too thick. Prepare custard and cookies a day in advance for convenience.
