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 egg
  • 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 pastry cream by heating milk and mixing it with half the sugar. Whisk egg yolks, remaining sugar, cornstarch, and salt in another bowl. Gradually combine both mixtures over medium heat until thickened. Stir in vanilla bean paste and butter. Let cool.
  2. For the cookie dough, cream softened butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla bean paste, then mix well. Combine dry ingredients in another bowl and gradually add to the wet mixture until just combined.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Create indents in each cookie and fill with cooled pastry cream.
  4. Bake for about 9 minutes until edges are golden. Cool slightly before caramelizing the tops with granulated sugar using a kitchen torch.
