Creme Brulee Cookies

Print Recipe

Indulge in these rich and buttery Creme Brulee Cookies that combine the creamy flavors of classic crème brûlée with a crisp caramelized sugar topping in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup turbinado sugar (for caramelized topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract, mixing well to combine.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the heavy cream, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  6. Form the dough into 1-inch balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  8. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle turbinado sugar over the top of each cookie.
  9. Using a kitchen torch, carefully caramelize the sugar topping until golden and crisp. If a torch is unavailable, place under a preheated broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  10. Allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

For extra flair, serve these cookies chilled with a dollop of whipped cream or add a sprinkle of sea salt atop the caramelized sugar for a sweet-salty twist.
