Mini Boston Cookies (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Cookie Base

01 - 1/4 cup vegetable oil
02 - 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
03 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
04 - 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
05 - 1/2 cup butter, softened
06 - 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
07 - 1 large egg
08 - 1/2 cup (65g) powdered sugar
09 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Vanilla Cream Filling

10 - 1 cup milk
11 - 4 ounces Cool Whip
12 - 1 package (3.4 oz) vanilla instant pudding

→ Chocolate Ganache

13 - 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
14 - 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate

# Instructions:

01 - Set oven to 350°F. Whip together the butter and sugar till it looks light. Stir in the egg, oil, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Mix in the flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar.
02 - In a muffin top pan, use one medium scoop and one smaller one to fill each well. Flatten the dough gently with a sugar-coated glass to make an indent.
03 - Put in the oven for about 8 to 10 minutes till the edges look done. Let them cool in the pan shortly, then move to a rack to finish cooling.
04 - Stir the pudding mix with the milk till you get a thick texture. Gently fold in the Cool Whip. Spoon 2 tablespoons into the cookie wells.
05 - Heat the chocolate with the cream in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time. Stir each time till the mixture's smooth. Drizzle 1 tablespoon over the top of each cookie.

# Notes:

01 - Soft vanilla cookies paired with creamy filling and rich chocolate topping, inspired by Boston Cream Pie.
02 - Keep them in the fridge for up to a week. They're best within 2-3 days.
03 - Using a muffin top pan gives the cookies their perfect shape.
