Equipment

  • A double boiler
  • A cooling rack
  • A spatula
  • A medium saucepan
  • A pastry bag with a pastry tip
  • A glass mixing bowl
  • A spoon

Ingredients
  

  • Classic sugar cookies
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon whole milk
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 2 cup cream
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the sugar cookies according to the directions. Let cool completely.
  • Pour the cream into a medium saucepan and heat on the stove until hot.
  • Whisk the sugar, egg yolks, and cornstarch together in a medium bowl.
  • Pour half the hot cream into the egg mixture and whisk quickly. This tempers the egg yolks.
  • Pour the egg yolk mixture into the saucepan and heat on medium. Whisk continuously for about 10 minutes until the mixture thickens. It should coat the back of a spoon without dripping.
  • Pour the pastry cream into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and cool in the refrigerator.
  • While the pastry cream is cooling, melt the chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of whole milk in a double boiler on low heat. Stir continuously until melted.
  • Fit a pastry bag with the tip of your choice. Remove the pastry cream from the refrigerator and pour it into the pastry bag.
  • Slowly pipe the pastry cream around the edges of each cookie and fill in the middle. Pour a teaspoon of chocolate on top using a spoon.
  • Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Notes

It helps to set the cookies up on a cooling rack with a baking sheet underneath. This keeps your kitchen clean if any chocolate drips off the cookies.
