Delightful cookies inspired by the classic Crème Brûlée dessert, featuring a soft and chewy center with a crispy caramelized sugar topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and continue to beat until combined.
  5. Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated.
  6. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until just bubbling, then whisk in the cornstarch until smooth.
  7. Allow the cream to cool slightly before gently folding it into the cookie dough mixture.
  8. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoons, drop dollops of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
  10. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Once cooled, sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar on top of each cookie and caramelize using a kitchen torch or broiler.
  12. Allow the caramelized sugar to cool and harden before serving.

Notes

Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Caramelize sugar after thawing.
