I first saw this cookie recipe on Pinterest. But if you are like me, you are probably wary of all these terrible recipes you find on Pinterest. But what it does allow me to do is modify the recipe to make it "right". I will never publish a recipe that doesn't meet my standards just for the sake of posting a recipe. So here is my recipe for Boston Cream Pie Cookie Bites.

Boston Cream Pie is probably one of my favorite desserts. I just LOVE custard. I mean who doesn't? Now that I think about it, it's weird that I have never made a Boston Cream Pie yet? hmm...

So if you like trivia or nostalgia as I do, you are probably wondering why it's called Boston Cream Pie. So I fired up my browser and visited my oracle "Wikipedia" and looked it up. This is what I found. Read this article about Boston Cream Pie if you are curious.

💭 Recipe Tip

While the recipe as a whole is pretty simple, pressing the cookie dough into the bottom of the mini muffin tin can be a little tricky because the dough is so sticky. I suggest dipping your finger in water before handling the dough.

📋 What Ingredients do I need

To make this delicious recipe, you will need the following ingredients: Yellow Cake Mix, Eggs, Unsalted Butter, Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix, Heavy Whipping Cream, Milk and Semi-Sweet Baking Chips.

🥣 How to Make these Boston Cream Pie Cookie Bites

Make the Cookies

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Prepare a mini muffin pan by spraying with nonstick cooking spray.
In a mixing bowl, whisk yellow cake mix to remove any lumps. Add softened butter and eggs to the mix and combine with a hand mixer until dough is thick and sticky.
Using a half tablespoon, put a mound of cookie dough into each muffin cup. Press the dough down to create a level cookie.
Bake for 7 to 8 minutes. Do not overcook as they will set up as they cool. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool for 4 to 5 minutes.
Once cooled, use the end of the wooden spoon to create an indentation in the middle of each cookie. Move cookies to a cooling rack and let them cool completely.

Make the Vanilla Cream

In a medium bowl, combine instant vanilla pudding mix, heavy cream and milk.
Using a hand mixer, mix until the mixture is thick and has stiff peaks.
Transfer mixture to a pastry bag and pipe into each cookie indentation.

Make the Chocolate Ganache

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine heavy cream and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave for 20 seconds and whisk.
Spoon ¼ teaspoon of ganache onto the top of each cookie.
Refrigerate until the ganache is set.
