Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups whole milk
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 1 cup + 2 tbsp granulated white 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 white sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste
  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar (for rolling the dough in)
  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar (for the brulee topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vanilla Pastry Cream: Combine whole milk and half of the sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. In another bowl, whisk egg yolks, remaining sugar, salt, cornstarch, and vanilla until smooth. Gradually mix hot milk into egg mixture, then return to saucepan and cook until thickened. Stir in butter and let cool.
  2. Make the Cookie Dough: Cream softened butter with granulated sugar until fluffy; beat in egg and vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt before gradually combining with wet ingredients.
  3. Assemble Cookies: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll dough into 2-inch balls coated in sugar. Place on lined baking sheets and create an indentation for the pastry cream.
  4. Bake Cookies: Bake for 9 minutes until edges are golden; cool slightly before sprinkling more sugar on top.
  5. Caramelize Sugar: Use a kitchen torch or broiler to caramelize the sugar topping until golden brown.
