Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well incorporated.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter with sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, mixing well until fully combined.
  5. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Drop dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
  7. Remove from oven and cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Indent the center of each cookie using your thumb and fill with approximately 1 teaspoon of vanilla custard.
  9. Combine chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl, microwave in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth.
  10. Drizzle melted chocolate over the filled cookies and let set for 10-15 minutes before serving.
