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

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Filling and Topping

  • 1/2 cup vanilla custard (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This helps distribute the leavening agents evenly.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes, to incorporate air for a tender cookie.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the large egg and vanilla extract until well combined to add moisture and flavor.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until incorporated to avoid overworking the dough.
  6. Shape Cookies: Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart to allow spreading.
  7. Bake: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden, indicating they are cooked through but still soft inside.
  8. Cool: Remove from oven and transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before filling.
  9. Make Indentations: Once cooled, create a small indentation in the center of each cookie using your thumb or the back of a measuring spoon to hold the custard filling.
  10. Fill with Custard: Spoon about a teaspoon of vanilla custard into each cookie indentation gently to avoid breaking the cookie.
  11. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the mixture is melted and smooth.
  12. Top Cookies: Drizzle the melted chocolate over the custard-filled cookies or dip the tops for a full chocolate coating, then allow the chocolate to set for 10-15 minutes.

Notes

  • You can use homemade vanilla custard for a fresher taste or store-bought for convenience.
  • Ensure the cookies are completely cooled before filling to prevent the custard from melting.
  • Vegetable oil in the chocolate helps achieve a smooth, glossy finish for decoration.
  • Store the cookie bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to keep the custard fresh.
