Description
Indulge in these delicious Crème Brûlée Cookies that combine the classic flavors of crème brûlée with a delightful cookie texture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the heavy cream until the dough is smooth.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
- 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.
- Once cooled, sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar on top of each cookie. Using a kitchen torch, carefully caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy, golden crust.
- Let the cookies sit for a few minutes to allow the sugar to harden before serving.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, add 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips to the dough before baking.
- You can substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
