Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup vanilla pudding mix
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Cookie Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Ganache Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet for even cookie placement.
- Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium mixing bowl to ensure smooth, lump-free dry ingredients.
- Using an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until the mixture becomes pale and develops a light, airy texture. Incorporate egg and vanilla, mixing until completely integrated.
- Gently pour milk into the butter mixture, stirring until a uniform consistency is achieved.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring carefully to create a cohesive cookie dough.
- Portion dough into small, uniform tablespoon-sized balls, gently pressing each onto the prepared baking sheet to create slight discs.
- Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes, watching for delicate golden edges as an indicator of doneness. Transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling.
- Whip heavy cream into vanilla pudding, blending until a smooth, luxurious filling emerges. Refrigerate to maintain firmness.
- Warm heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl until hot, then introduce chocolate chips, allowing them to melt naturally before stirring to create a glossy ganache.
- Assemble cookie sandwiches by spreading vanilla cream filling on one cookie surface and gently pressing a second cookie on top.
- Elegantly coat the top of each sandwich with ganache, either by dipping or drizzling for an artistic finish.
- Chill assembled cookies for 10-15 minutes to set the chocolate and enhance flavor melding.
Notes
- Swap butter for coconut oil to make the recipe dairy-free and add a subtle tropical hint to the cookies.
- Use gluten-free flour blend as a direct substitute to make these cookies suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
- Whip pudding mixture thoroughly to prevent lumps and ensure a smooth, creamy filling that spreads easily between cookies.
- Cool cookies completely before assembling to prevent filling from melting and maintain the structural integrity of the sandwich.
