Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups whole milk
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 1 cup + 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tbsp vanilla bean paste
  • 3 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, cut in cubes
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for rolling the dough in)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for the brulee topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vanilla Pastry Cream: In a saucepan, heat whole milk and half the sugar until almost boiling. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks, remaining sugar, salt, cornstarch, and vanilla bean paste until smooth. Gradually whisk in hot milk to temper eggs. Return to saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in butter; let cool.
  2. Make the Cookie Dough: Cream softened butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla bean paste. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt; gradually mix into wet ingredients.
  3. Assemble Cookies: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop cookie dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets; create an indentation in each scoop and fill with pastry cream.
  4. Bake: Bake for about 9 minutes until edges are golden but centers are soft. Cool on wire racks.
  5. Create Topping: Just before serving, sprinkle granulated sugar over pastry cream filling and caramelize using a kitchen torch until bubbly and golden brown.
