- 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 cup Vanilla Custard Use store-bought or homemade.
- 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips Feel free to swap in dark chocolate.

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this bowl aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Scoop small balls of dough and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each cookie.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Filling and Topping
- Once cooled, carefully slice each cookie in half and fill with a spoonful of vanilla custard.
- Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with the vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- Drizzle or dip each filled cookie in the melted chocolate and let the chocolate set before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, try browning the butter before mixing with sugar. Make sure cookies are cooled completely before filling to prevent melting. Experiment with different chocolates and custards for variety.
