MOMOFUKU COOKIE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 13x9x2-inch metal baking pan with parchment paper; coat with nonstick spray. Combine 6 tablespoons butter, 4 tablespoons brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons sugar in medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat mixture until light and fluffy, occasionally scraping down sides of bowl, about 2 minutes. Add egg; beat until pale and fluffy. Add oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and beat until well blended, about 1 minute. Turn oat mixture out onto prepared baking pan; press out evenly to edges of pan. Bake until light golden on top, 17 to 18 minutes. Transfer baking pan to rack and cool cookie completely.
• Using hands, crumble oat cookie into large bowl; add 3 tablespoons butter and 1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar. Rub in with fingertips until mixture is moist enough to stick together. Transfer cookie crust mixture to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Using fingers, press mixture evenly onto bottom and up sides of pie dish. Place pie dish with crust on rimmed baking sheet.
• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Whisk both sugars, milk powder, and salt in medium bowl to blend. Add melted butter and whisk until blended. Add cream, then egg yolks and vanilla and whisk until well blended. Pour filling into crust. Bake pie 30 minutes (filling may begin to bubble). Reduce oven temperature to 325°F. Continue to bake pie until filling is brown in spots and set around edges but center still moves slightly when pie dish is gently shaken, about 20 minutes longer. Cool pie 2 hours in pie dish on rack. Chill uncovered overnight.
• DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover; keep chilled.
• Sift powdered sugar lightly over top of pie. Cut pie into wedges and serve cold.

Steps:

• Over a medium bowl, drain and press creamed corn through a mesh strainer. In a small pot over medium-low heat, combine 1/4 cup corn liquid, cream, and granulated sugar and cook until thickened and caramel-like, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to heat-proof bowl, then chill in fridge to let cool completely, about 30 minutes. In a large bowl using a hand-mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together butter, brown sugar, and salt until smooth. Add in cooled corn caramel and continue to beat until mixture is lightened and resembles frosting, 2 to 3 minutes. Add in egg yolk and beat to combine fully, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Fold in flour, cornmeal, baking soda, and baking powder until fully combined. Cover and transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. Scoop and roll chilled dough into 1 1/2" balls, about 2 tablespoons each. Place in a single layer on a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350°. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Transfer frozen dough balls to prepared sheets, spaced 4" apart. Bake until edges are deeply golden and center is puffy, about 12 minutes.  Let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then use a fish-spatula to transfer to a cooling rack.
