- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup milk
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Pinch of salt
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup of unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, followed by 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Using a cookie scoop or two spoons, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
- While the cookies are cooling, make the pastry cream by whisking together 1 cup of milk, 1/3 cup of sugar, 3 tablespoons of cornstarch, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Let it cool completely.
- For the chocolate ganache, heat 1 cup of heavy cream in a small saucepan until just simmering. Pour it over 6 ounces of chopped semi-sweet chocolate in a bowl. Let it sit for a few minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous layer of pastry cream on the underside of half the cookies. Top with the remaining cookies to create sandwiches.
- Drizzle the chocolate ganache over the top of each cookie sandwich. Allow it to set for a few minutes before enjoying!

Keywords: If your dough feels too soft, chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before baking. Use high-quality chocolate for the ganache for the best flavor. You can also sprinkle some sea salt on top of the ganache for a salted chocolate finish.
