Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Base

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat for a heartier texture)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (or brown sugar for a richer flavor)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (or almond extract for variation)

For the Custard Filling

  • 1 cup vanilla custard (store-bought or homemade; optional: chocolate mousse or lemon curd)

For the Chocolate Drizzle

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or dark chocolate)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (or coconut oil)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients
    In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly mixed.
  • Cream Butter and Sugar
    In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes). Scrape down the sides as needed.
  • Add Wet Ingredients
    Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until the dough is smooth and cohesive.
  • Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
    Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender.
  • Portion the Dough
    Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake
    Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Make Indentations
    Gently press the center of each cookie with your thumb or a spoon to create space for the filling.
  • Fill with Custard
    Pipe or spoon custard into each indentation, filling generously but leaving a small edge.
  • Drizzle Chocolate
    Melt chocolate chips with oil in 15-second intervals, stirring between increments. Drizzle over cookies.
  • Set Chocolate
    Let the chocolate set for 10–15 minutes before serving.
