Boston Cream Pie Cookies
Experience the nostalgic charm of a classic Boston Cream Pie in an easy-to-eat, handheld cookie sandwich. These delightful treats feature two soft, buttery vanilla cookies pressed together with a cloud of sweetened whipped cream and topped with a glossy, decadent layer of semi-sweet chocolate. Perfect for gatherings or a sophisticated afternoon snack, these cookies provide the ideal balance of tender crumb, creamy filling, and rich chocolate ganache.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Scoop dough into portions onto the baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
- Cool cookies completely on a wire rack.
- In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl using short bursts until smooth.
- Assemble the cookies by spreading whipped cream on the flat side of one cookie, topping with another, and dipping or drizzling the top with melted chocolate.
Notes
Ensure the cookies are completely cool before adding the cream filling, otherwise, the cream will melt. For the best finish, let the chocolate-dipped cookies set in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
