Boston Cream Pie Cookies

Delicious cookies inspired by the classic Boston cream pie, featuring a smooth vanilla pudding filling and a rich chocolate glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow cookies to cool completely.
  7. For the filling, prepare the vanilla pudding mix according to package instructions using the milk.
  8. Once the cookies have cooled, fill the center of half the cookies with the vanilla cream.
  9. For the chocolate glaze, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until hot but not boiling, and pour it over the chocolate chips in a bowl. Stir until smooth.
  10. Dip the tops of the filled cookies into the chocolate glaze, letting the excess drip off.
  11. Place the glazed cookies back on the baking sheet and let the chocolate set. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Store in the fridge for up to 4 days due to the pudding filling. Freeze unfilled baked cookies for up to 2 months.
