Description

These Mini Boston Cream Pie Cookies are a fun and delicious twist on the classic Boston Cream Pie. Soft cookies are filled with creamy vanilla pudding and topped with a glossy chocolate ganache for a bite-sized dessert that’s perfect for any occasion!


Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk

For the Filling:

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup vanilla pudding mix (prepared according to package directions)

For the Chocolate Ganache:

  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream


Instructions

Step 1: Make the Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, and beat until smooth. Add milk and mix well.
  4. Combine and Shape: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until combined. Scoop small balls (about a tablespoon) of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, flattening them slightly with your fingers.
  5. Bake: Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

  1. In a bowl, fold the whipped heavy cream into the vanilla pudding until smooth and fluffy. Chill until ready to use.

Step 3: Make the Ganache

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the heavy cream until hot (about 30 seconds).
  2. Add the chocolate chips and let sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir until smooth.

Step 4: Assemble the Cookies

  1. Fill: Spoon a small amount of vanilla cream filling onto the flat side of half the cookies. Top with another cookie to create a sandwich.
  2. Dip: Dip the top of each cookie sandwich into the chocolate ganache or drizzle over the top.
  3. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the cookies for 10-15 minutes to set the ganache.

Notes

  • If you prefer a thicker ganache, add a few more chocolate chips.
  • You can substitute the vanilla pudding mix with homemade custard for an extra rich filling.
  • These cookies can be stored in the fridge for a few days, making them perfect for making ahead!
