Ingredients

For the Cookies
  • 3/4 cup butter softened
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
For the Frosting
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1 1/4 cup confectioner's sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar for dipping the cookies

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer beat the butter and sugars together until fluffy.
  3. Next, add in the vanilla and egg and mix until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl add in the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt and whisk together.
  5. Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until smooth.
  6. Using a small cookie scoop, place Tablespoon sized balls of cookie dough onto your prepared cookie sheets. Press down each cookie dough ball to flatten ever so slightly.
  7. Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes until the edges are slightly golden brown then remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely.
  8. While the cookies are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl beat the cream cheese, confectioner’s sugar and vanilla until smooth.
  9. Next, in a small separate bowl add in the granulated sugar. Then, spread about 1 Tablespoon of frosting over each cookie and then press the cookie into the bowl of granulated sugar so that the sugar sticks to the frosting.
  10. Using a kitchen torch, caramelize the sugar on top, set aside to cool, then serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can store these creme brûlée cookies in an airtight container on your counter for 3 days. In your fridge for 1 week or in your freezer for up to 2 months. If you are going to freeze them, I recommend waiting to make the frosting until you are ready to serve them.
  • Here are some tips on using your kitchen torch:
