- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Filling and Cream
- 1 cup vanilla pastry cream

- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Chocolate Topping
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, then blend in vanilla extract.
- Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
- Scoop cookie dough onto prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each portion.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers appear slightly soft.
- Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold whipped cream into vanilla pastry cream to create a light, airy filling.
- Once cookies are cool, carefully slice each cookie horizontally.
- Pipe pastry cream mixture onto bottom cookie half, creating an even layer.
- Melt chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter together in a double boiler until smooth.
- Stir in vanilla extract to chocolate ganache and let cool slightly.
- Carefully place top cookie half over filling, then drizzle with chocolate ganache.
- Refrigerate cookies for 30 minutes to set chocolate and firm up filling.
Notes
- Ensure butter is softened at room temperature for easier creaming and smoother cookie texture.
- Use an ice cream scoop for uniform cookie sizes, guaranteeing even baking and consistent appearance.
- Chill cookie dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and maintain structured shape.
- Consider using dark chocolate ganache for deeper, richer flavor profile if preferring intense chocolate notes.
