Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder ensure fresh
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup vanilla custard store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Equipment

  • mixing bowls
  • whisk
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • Piping bag
  • Wire cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until well combined.
  5. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just integrated, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden but centers still look slightly soft.
  8. Remove from oven and immediately press an indentation into the center of each cookie while still warm. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. Fill the indentations with vanilla custard using a piping bag or small spoon.
  10. Melt the chocolate chips with vegetable oil until smooth, then drizzle over the filled cookies.
  11. Allow the chocolate to set for 10-15 minutes before serving. Store in refrigerator.

Notes

Cool cookies completely before adding custard to prevent melting. Store in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 3 days. Best enjoyed within 1-2 days for optimal texture.
