Step-by-Step Instructions for Boston Cream Pie Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your baking equipment, including two parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Grease and flour the two baking sheets to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the two large eggs and vanilla extract, incorporating them one at a time until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to your wet ingredients alternately. Mix gently until just combined.
- Using a cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes.
- Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
- While the cookies cool, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
- Slice half of your cooled cookies horizontally. Spread whipped cream on the bottom layer and place the top layer back on.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until smooth.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate generously over the tops of the assembled cookies.
- Chill the completed cookies in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set the chocolate and filling.

Notes
For best results, use room temperature ingredients, don't overmix the dough, and cool cookies completely before assembly.
