- 1/4 teaspoon Salt (Use sparingly to balance sweetness.)
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (Contributes to the soft texture.)
- 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar (Consider brown sugar for a deeper flavor.)

Tips & Variations
- Use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar for a richer flavor.
- Try almond extract in place of vanilla for a different aromatic note.
- Swap semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate for a more intense chocolate taste.
- Make your own custard at home to control sweetness and freshness.
- Use coconut oil instead of vegetable oil for a subtle coconut flavor in the chocolate topping.
Storage
Store the cookie bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to keep the custard fresh. Before serving, bring them to room temperature or gently warm for a few seconds to soften the chocolate. Avoid freezing, as the custard may separate upon thawing.

FAQs
Can I use a different type of flour?
Yes, whole wheat flour can be used as a substitute for all-purpose flour, though the texture will be slightly denser and nuttier.
Is it necessary to melt the chocolate with oil?
Melting chocolate with a bit of vegetable or coconut oil helps create a smooth drizzle that sets nicely without becoming too hard, making it easier to bite through.

- 1/4 teaspoon Salt (Use sparingly to balance sweetness)

- 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar (Consider brown sugar for a deeper flavor)
- 1 large Egg (Acts as a binder and moisture source)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (Almond extract can be a delightful alternative)
Fillings and Toppings
- 1 cup Vanilla Custard (Use store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (Feel free to swap in dark chocolate)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil (Coconut oil is a good substitute)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined to ensure uniform leavening in the cookies.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a mixer, beat the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes, which introduces air for a tender crumb.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture, beating until the mixture is smooth and well combined for moisture and flavor.
- Combine Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients just until integrated; avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender.
- Scoop Dough: Drop scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn lightly golden, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Create Indentation: Once cooled, gently press an indentation in the center of each cookie to hold the custard filling.
- Fill with Custard: Using a piping bag or small spoon, fill each cookie indentation with vanilla custard carefully to avoid overflow.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with vegetable oil until smooth and glossy for a drizzle topping.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Drizzle the melted chocolate over the custard-filled cookies uniformly and allow the chocolate to set for 10-15 minutes before serving to achieve a firm finish.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, substitute granulated sugar with brown sugar.
- Use homemade vanilla custard for a fresher, more authentic taste.
- Coconut oil can be used instead of vegetable oil to melt chocolate for a subtle tropical twist.
- Ensure cookies are fully cooled before filling to prevent custard from melting.
- Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator if not serving immediately, best consumed within 2 days.
