Ingredients
 

Cookie Base

  • 0.75 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 tsp baking powder
  • 0.25 tsp salt

Brulee Topping

  • 0.5 cup brown sugar for topping
  • kitchen torch for caramelizing

Instructions

Baking Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just incorporated.
  • Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and place them on a lined baking sheet. Flatten them slightly and bake for about 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Let the cookies cool for a few minutes, then sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the tops. Use a kitchen torch to carefully caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy crust.
  • Allow the caramelized topping to harden for a minute before enjoying your delicious creme brulee cookies!

Notes

These cookies are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store them in an airtight container for a couple of days.
