Ingredients

• 115 grams Unsalted butter
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 50 grams Brown sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 190 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 240 milliliters Milk
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla bean paste or extract
• 3 large Egg yolks
• 120 milliliters Heavy cream
• 150 grams Semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together 115 grams of unsalted butter, 100 grams of granulated sugar, and 50 grams of brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Mix in 1 large egg and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together 190 grams of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.

Step 6

Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets and slightly flatten each ball with your fingers.

Step 7

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 8

To make the pastry cream, combine 240 milliliters of milk, 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, and 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla bean paste in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat until warmed, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 egg yolks and 50 grams of granulated sugar until pale. Gradually pour the warm milk mixture into the bowl, whisking constantly, and then return the mixture to the saucepan.

Step 10

Cook the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thickened. Transfer the pastry cream to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap (pressing it directly onto the surface), and let it cool completely in the refrigerator.

Step 11

For the chocolate ganache, heat 120 milliliters of heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until steaming but not boiling. Pour the hot cream over 150 grams of semisweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.

Step 12

Let the mixture sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth. Stir in 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter for added shine.

Step 13

Assemble each Boston Cream Cookie by spreading a dollop of chilled pastry cream on the flat side of one cookie and topping it with another cookie to create a sandwich.

Step 14

Spoon or drizzle chocolate ganache over the top of each cookie sandwich. Allow the ganache to set slightly before serving. Enjoy!
