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 Pastry Cream: Heat whole milk until simmering. Whisk egg yolks, sugar, salt, and vanilla bean paste together. Gradually add cornstarch, then temper eggs with hot milk. Return to heat, stirring until thickened, then mix in butter. Cool and refrigerate.
  2. Make the Cookie Dough: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Beat softened butter and sugar until fluffy; add egg and vanilla bean paste. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt; mix dry ingredients into wet until fully combined.
  3. Assemble Cookies: Flatten dough portions in your hand and place pastry cream in the center. Fold edges over cream to seal and roll into balls.
  4. Bake Cookies: Roll each ball in sugar and place on parchment-lined sheets. Bake for 9 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
  5. Finish with Topping: Cool slightly before sprinkling with sugar and caramelizing with a kitchen torch.
