1 tbsp cornstarch
½ tsp vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Glaze:

Instructions

1️⃣ Make the Cookies:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, vanilla, and milk.
Gradually mix in dry ingredients until combined.
Scoop tablespoon-sized dough onto the baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Cool completely.

2️⃣ Prepare the Cream Filling:

Heat cream and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat.
In a small bowl, whisk egg yolk and cornstarch, then slowly add warm cream mixture, whisking constantly.
Return to heat and cook until thickened (about 2 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Let cool.

3️⃣ Make the Chocolate Glaze:

Melt chocolate chips and heavy cream together until smooth.

4️⃣ Assemble the Cookies:

Spread custard on the flat side of one cookie and top with another.
Spoon or drizzle chocolate glaze over the top.

5️⃣ Chill & Serve:

Refrigerate for 15 minutes to set, then enjoy!

Notes

✔️ For a shortcut, use instant vanilla pudding instead of homemade custard.
✔️ Store cookies in the fridge for up to 3 days.
✔️ Swap semi-sweet chocolate for dark chocolate for a richer taste.
