2 cups All-Purpose Flour (Substitute with whole wheat flour if desired.)

1 teaspoon Baking Powder (Ensure it’s fresh for best results.)

1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda (Enhances the leavening effect.)

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.)

1 large Egg (Acts as a binder and moisture source.)

1 cup Vanilla Custard (Use store-bought or homemade.)

1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (Feel free to swap in dark chocolate.)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.

Step 3: Cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4: Add in the egg and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.

Step 5: Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just integrated.

Step 6: Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each scoop.

Step 7: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Cool on a wire rack.

Step 8: Press an indentation into the center of each cookie.

Step 9: Fill the indents with custard using a piping bag or small spoon.

Step 10: Melt the chocolate chips with vegetable oil and drizzle over the filled cookies.

Step 11: Allow the chocolate to set for about 10-15 minutes before serving.

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.

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.
