  • Parchment paper 

Made with the products below :

1. Vanilla cream filling

Ingredients:

Prep time: 15 min

Cook time: until the cream starts to boil

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, heat up the milk and split and scored vanilla bean.
  • Quickly beat the yolks and sugar in a bowl.
  • Add the cornstarch.
  • Gradually add in the hot milk, stirring all the while.
  • Pour the mixture into the saucepan and leave it to thicken, again stirring constantly. As soon as it starts to boil, pour the cream into a small bowl and leave it to cool. Seal with plastic wrap and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 355°F (180°C). 

2. Dark chocolate chip cookie dough

Ingredients:

  • 120g Salted butter 
  • 170g Raw cane sugar 
  • 60g Demerara sugar
  • 1 Egg 
  • 270g All-purpose flour 
  • 30g Cocoa Powder 
  • 1 level teaspoon Baking powder
  • 170g Dark chocolate chips 

Prep time: 10 min

Rest time: until use

Steps:

  • Mix together the butter and sugars in a large bowl.
  • Whisk thoroughly to make the texture creamier, then add in the egg. Whisk for another minute to make it light and airy.
  • Incorporate the flour, cocoa, baking powder and chocolate chips. Mix quickly but be careful not to overwork the dough. 

3. Cookie and filling assembly

Prep time: 15 min

Cook time: 8 min


Steps:

  • Shape into small balls, approx. 40-50g, then place them on a tray and make a hollow in each one. Fill each hollow with a teaspoon of cream filling and seal up the hole.
  • Place the cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and flatten them slightly.
  • Bake for a maximum of 8 minutes even if they don’t look completely cooked at the end, as they will keep baking on the tray outside of the oven.
  • Take the tray out of the oven, leave it to cool, then remove the cookies.
