For the Chocolate Glaze:

Instructions
- Prepare the Cookies:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually combine with the butter mixture, alternating with milk.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- Make the Pastry Cream:
- In a saucepan, whisk together milk, egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring until thickened.
- Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and butter. Let cool completely.
- Make the Chocolate Glaze:
- Melt chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20 seconds until smooth.
- Assemble the Cookies:
- Spread pastry cream on the flat side of half the cookies. Top with remaining cookies to form sandwiches.
- Drizzle or spread chocolate glaze over each cookie sandwich. Allow the glaze to set before serving.
Notes
To prevent soggy cookies, make sure the pastry cream is completely cool before assembling.
You can make the pastry cream a day ahead for convenience.
For a firmer glaze, let the cookies chill in the fridge for 10-15 minutes after assembling.
