Boston Cream Pie Cookies (Print Format)

Chewy cookies with vanilla pudding and a smooth chocolate ganache—classic Boston Cream flavor in every bite.

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
02 - ½ teaspoon baking powder
03 - ¼ teaspoon salt
04 - ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
05 - ¾ cup granulated sugar
06 - 1 large egg
07 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
08 - 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
09 - 2 cups cold milk
10 - ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
11 - ⅓ cup heavy cream

# Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
03 - In another bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix well.
04 - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
05 - Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each slightly and create an indent in the center of each cookie.
06 - Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
07 - Whisk together the pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and thickened. Refrigerate for 5 minutes.
08 - Heat the cream until it begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips, let it sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
09 - Spoon vanilla pudding into the indent of each cooled cookie. Drizzle the chocolate ganache over the pudding and let it set before serving.

# Tips:

01 - These cookies are a fun and portable twist on the classic Boston Cream Pie.
02 - Ensure that the cookies are completely cooled before adding the pudding and chocolate ganache.
