Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Baking sheet
  • 1 parchment paper sheet
  • 1 Saucepan
  • 1 Spoon
  • 1 Cookie cutter
  • 1 Cooling rack
  • 1 microwave-safe bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract to the bowl and whisk until fully combined.
  • Gradually add the all-purpose flour and mix until a dough forms.
  • Roll out the dough on a floured surface and use a cookie cutter to shape the cookies.
  • Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
  • While the cookies are baking, prepare the custard by heating milk in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together cornstarch, powdered sugar, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry mixture to the warm milk, stirring continuously until thickened.
  • Remove the custard from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
  • Once the cookies are baked, let them cool on a cooling rack for 10 minutes.
  • Spoon the cooled custard onto the flat side of half the cookies, then sandwich with the remaining cookies.
  • Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until smooth.
  • Dip each cookie sandwich into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
  • Place the cookies on the cooling rack and let the chocolate set for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to the custard. Ensure that the white chocolate is fully melted and smooth before dipping the cookies to achieve an even shell. If the cookies spread too much during baking, chill the dough for 15 minutes before rolling and cutting.
