Creme Br\u00fbl\u00e9e Sugar Cookies<\/h2>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t

\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t
\n\t\t

**For the Cookies:**<\/h4>
  • 3\/4 cup 1 1\/2 sticks butter, softened<\/li>
  • 1\/2 cup packed brown sugar<\/li>
  • 1\/2 cup granulated sugar<\/li>
  • 1 large egg<\/li>
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract<\/li>
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour<\/li>
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch<\/li>
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda<\/li>
  • 1\/4 teaspoon kosher salt<\/li><\/ul>

    **For the Frosting:**<\/h4>
    • 1 8-ounce block cream cheese, softened<\/li>
    • 1 1\/4 cups powdered sugar<\/li>
    • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract<\/li>
    • 1\/4 cup granulated sugar<\/li><\/ul>\t<\/div>\n\t
      \n\t\t
      1. Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Cream together the butter and sugars until they’re light and fluffy, which should take about 3 to 4 minutes. Mix in the egg and vanilla.<\/li>
      2. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Then, add this mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until everything is smooth. The dough will be thick.<\/li>
      3. Use a small cookie scoop to place tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the parchment-lined cookie sheets. Lightly press down on each cookie to flatten it slightly. Bake them until the edges start to brown, which usually takes about 9 to 10 minutes.<\/li>
      4. Once they’re out of the oven, let the cookies cool for 2 to 3 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.<\/li>
      5. To make the frosting, beat the cream cheese until it’s smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla, and mix until everything is smooth.<\/li>
      6. Put the granulated sugar into a small bowl. Spread about a tablespoon of frosting onto the tops of each cookie, then press them into the granulated sugar, coating the frosting with sugar.<\/li>
      7. Just before serving, use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar on top of each cookie. Then, set them aside to cool. You can store these cookies in the fridge for up to 4 days. Enjoy!<\/li><\/ol>\t<\/div>\n\t
