Boston Cream Pie Cookies recreate the classic flavors of Boston Cream Pie in a soft, tender cookie filled with creamy vanilla custard and topped with rich chocolate ganache. Perfect for any occasion, these easy-to-bake cookies blend textures and tastes into an irresistible handheld treat.

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • All-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • Butter, softened
  • Sugar
  • Eggs
  • Vanilla extract
  • Cornstarch
  • Salt

Vanilla Custard Filling

  • Milk
  • Sugar
  • Cornstarch
  • Egg yolks
  • Vanilla extract

Chocolate Ganache Topping

  • Heavy cream (or non-dairy cream for vegan option)
  • Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Dough: Cream softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract. In another bowl, sift together flour (or gluten-free blend), cornstarch, and salt. Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet until just combined. Chill dough at least 30 minutes for better handling and texture.
  2. Bake the Cookies: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop dough into uniform balls and slightly flatten each on sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes until edges are just golden. Cool completely to prevent melting custard later.
  3. Make the Vanilla Custard Filling: Gently heat milk in a saucepan. In a bowl, whisk sugar, cornstarch, egg yolks, and vanilla. Slowly add hot milk to egg mixture while whisking constantly, then return to pan. Cook over low heat until thickened. Cool and chill custard until firm enough to spread.
  4. Prepare the Chocolate Ganache: Heat heavy cream just until simmering. Pour over chocolate chips and let sit for 1 minute. Stir until smooth and glossy. Cool ganache until spreadable but not firm.
  5. Assemble the Cookies: Spread generous dollop of custard onto bottom side of half the cookies. Sandwich with remaining cookies, pressing gently. Spread chocolate ganache on top of each sandwich cookie. Let set for 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Chill cookie dough to prevent spreading and maintain tenderness.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for best dough texture.
  • Cool baked cookies completely before assembly to avoid melting custard.
  • Whisk custard constantly to prevent lumps and ensure smoothness.
  • Use good quality chocolate for ganache for optimal flavor.
