Description
Boston Cream Pie Cookies bring the classic flavors of a Boston cream pie into a delightful cookie form, filled with rich whipped cream and drizzled with chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture until just combined.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool completely.
- In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Once cookies are cool, spoon or pipe a dollop of whipped cream onto the flat side of half of the cookies.
- Top them with the remaining cookies to make sandwiches.
- In a small saucepan, melt chocolate chips with vegetable oil over low heat, stirring until smooth.
- Drizzle or spread the chocolate glaze over the cookies. Let set before serving.
Notes
For a healthier twist, swap half the butter for unsweetened applesauce and use whole wheat flour for extra fiber. Store cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
