Instructions

  1. Prepare the pastry cream: Heat whole milk until nearly boiling. In a bowl, whisk egg yolks, sugar, salt, vanilla bean paste, and cornstarch until smooth. Gradually add hot milk while whisking. Return to saucepan and cook over medium heat until thickened. Stir in cubed butter until melted and let cool.

  3. Chill the dough: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  5. Roll chilled dough into balls, coat in granulated sugar, and place on baking sheets.
  6. Bake for about 9 minutes or until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
  7. Sprinkle warm cookies with sugar and use a kitchen torch to caramelize.
