Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups (540 ml) whole milk
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 1 cup + 2 tbsp (225 g) granulated white sugar
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tbsp vanilla bean paste
  • 3 1/2 tbsp (28 g) cornstarch
  • 3 tbsp (42 g) unsalted butter, cut in cubes
  • 2 1/2 cups (313 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cup (250 g) granulated white sugar
  • 1 cup (224 g) unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated white sugar (for rolling the dough in)
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated white sugar (for the brulee topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vanilla pastry cream by heating whole milk and whisking together egg yolks, sugar, and salt until light in color. Gradually mix hot milk into the egg mixture, return to heat, add cornstarch, and stir until thickened. Incorporate butter and cool completely.
  2. For the cookie dough, beat softened butter with sugar until fluffy, mix in egg and vanilla bean paste, then gradually add flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Scoop dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets; create indentations for filling post-baking.
  4. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 9 minutes until edges are golden. Cool on wire racks.
  5. Fill cooled cookies with pastry cream and sprinkle with sugar. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar topping.
