Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter Provides richness and moisture; substitute with margarine for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Adds sweetness and structure to cookies; brown sugar can be used for a deeper flavor.
  • 2 Large Eggs Binds ingredients and adds moisture; for an egg-free version, try flaxseed meal or commercial egg replacer.
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract Enhances flavor; can substitute with almond extract for a different taste.
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Forms the structure of the cookies; substitute with a gluten-free flour blend if needed.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Helps cookies rise; avoid substitutions for the best texture.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda Aids in spreading and browning for a perfect finish.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Balances sweetness; skip it if you're using salted butter.
For the Cream Filling
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Adds richness to the filling; substitute with coconut cream for a dairy-free treat.
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar Sweetens and thickens the cream filling; can be reduced for less sweetness.
For the Chocolate Glaze
  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips Provides a rich chocolate flavor; dark chocolate can be used for more intensity.
  • 1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil Enhances the consistency of the glaze for a smooth finish.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Boston Cream Pie Cookies
  1. Begin your Boston Cream Pie Cookies by creaming together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar using a mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time along with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gradually add 2 cups of all-purpose flour mixed with 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until just combined. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  2. While the cookie dough chills, prepare the cream filling. In a mixing bowl, pour 1 cup of heavy cream and add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and the remaining 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whip the mixture on high speed until stiff peaks form, which should take about 3-4 minutes. Once ready, set the cream filling aside in the refrigerator to keep it cold while you bake the cookies.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the chilled cookie dough onto the prepared sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers have set. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted. The chocolate glaze should be shiny and slightly thick but pourable. Set aside to cool slightly before using.
  5. Once the cookies have cooled completely, take each cookie and use a piping bag or a spoon to fill them with the prepared cream filling. If desired, the cookies can be lightly pressed together for a delightful cream-filled treat. After filling, dip the tops of the cookies in the warm chocolate glaze or drizzle it over the cookies for a beautiful finish. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
  6. Your Boston Cream Pie Cookies are now complete! Enjoy them fresh, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week; just remember to allow them to come to room temperature before indulging for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

Ensure your butter is softened for easier mixing; cold butter can result in dense cookies. Allow cookies to cool completely before filling to avoid melting your delicious cream filling. Store cookies properly for best texture.
