Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients and Fillings

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup vanilla custard (store-bought or homemade)

Topping

  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the cookies.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside to keep dry and wet ingredients separate.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar using a mixer or whisk until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the large egg and vanilla extract until everything is well combined and smooth.
  5. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to keep the cookies tender.
  6. Form Cookies: Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each to allow spreading.
  7. Bake: Bake the cookies in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Make Indentations: Once cooled, create a small indentation in the center of each cookie using your thumb or the back of a measuring spoon, preparing a space for the custard filling.
  9. Fill with Custard: Spoon about one teaspoon of vanilla custard into each indentation carefully, ensuring not to overfill.
  10. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  11. Drizzle Chocolate: Drizzle the melted chocolate over the custard-filled cookies or dip the tops for a rich chocolate coating.
  12. Set Chocolate: Allow the chocolate to set by letting the cookies rest for about 10-15 minutes at room temperature before serving.

Notes

  • Use unbleached all-purpose flour for better flavor and texture.
  • Softening butter properly helps create a lighter cookie texture.
  • You can substitute whole wheat flour for a heartier cookie or coconut oil to make it dairy-free.
  • Try different fillings like chocolate mousse or lemon curd for unique flavor variations.
  • For toppings, white chocolate drizzle, crushed nuts, or sprinkles can add fun and texture.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to five days.
  • Freeze cookie bites wrapped individually for up to three months.
  • Supervise children during baking, especially around the oven and sharp tools for safety.
