Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (can substitute with whole wheat flour)
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder (fresh preferred)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar (brown sugar can be used)
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (or almond extract)

Filling and Topping

  • 1 cup Vanilla Custard (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (dark chocolate as alternative)
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil (or coconut oil)

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and set aside.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar for about 2 minutes until creamy and light.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract into the butter mixture until fully incorporated.
  4. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
  5. Form Cookies: Scoop small balls of dough and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart to prevent sticking.
  6. Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn lightly golden brown.
  7. Cool the Cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Fill Cookies: Once cooled, carefully slice each cookie in half horizontally and fill each bottom half with a spoonful of vanilla custard.
  9. Prepare Chocolate Topping: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with the vegetable oil in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth and glossy.
  10. Assemble and Coat: Drizzle or dip the filled cookies into the melted chocolate, then set them aside to allow the chocolate to fully set before serving.

Notes

  • For a deeper flavor, try substituting granulated sugar with brown sugar.
  • You can use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet if preferred for a richer chocolate taste.
  • Make sure the baking powder is fresh to achieve the best rise and texture.
  • Use parchment paper on your baking sheet to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  • If making homemade vanilla custard, ensure it is fully cooled before using to avoid melting the chocolate topping.
  • These cookie bites can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
