Ingredients

Scale

  • 3 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Vanilla Pastry Cream: Heat milk until simmering. In another bowl, whisk egg yolks, sugar, salt, cornstarch, and vanilla bean paste until smooth. Gradually stir hot milk into the mixture. Return to heat and stir until thickened. Add butter and set aside to cool.

  3. Assemble Cookies: Flatten dough portions in your palm, add pastry cream in the center, seal dough around it, then roll in sugar before placing on parchment-lined baking sheets.
  4. Bake Cookies: Bake for about 9 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
  5. Caramelize Sugar Topping: Sprinkle additional sugar on top of each cookie and use a kitchen torch or broiler to caramelize until golden brown.
