Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
- 50 grams Caster sugar
- 125 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Custard powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 75 grams Unsalted butter (softened, for filling)
- 100 grams Powdered sugar
- 25 grams Custard powder (for filling)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream together 100 grams of softened butter and 50 grams of caster sugar until light and fluffy using a stand mixer or hand-held mixer.
Sift together the all-purpose flour, custard powder, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Roll the dough into small balls, roughly the size of a walnut, and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
Flatten each ball gently with a fork to create a decorative pattern.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are just starting to turn golden at the edges. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
While the cookies are cooling, prepare the filling by beating 75 grams of softened butter, 100 grams of powdered sugar, 25 grams of custard powder, and 0.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.
Pair up the cooled cookies by size and shape. Pipe or spread a small amount of custard cream filling onto the flat side of one cookie and sandwich it with another cookie.
Repeat this process until all the cookies are sandwiched. Serve and enjoy!
