Boston Cream Pie Cookie Cups

Ingredients

To make these delectable cookie cups, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (for pastry cream)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Follow these steps to create your delicious Boston Cream Pie Cookie Cups:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. Using a cookie scoop, fill greased muffin tins with the cookie dough, about halfway full, and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
  6. While the cookie cups are baking, prepare the pastry cream. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, milk, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens, then let it cool.
  7. Once the cookie cups have cooled, use a small spoon to create a hollow in the center of each cup, then fill them with the prepared vanilla pastry cream.
  8. For the chocolate ganache, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Add a splash of cream and stir until smooth. Drizzle the ganache over each filled cookie cup.
  9. Let the ganache set for a few minutes, then serve your delicious Boston Cream Pie Cookie Cups and enjoy!
