Ingredients

Scale
  • 225 g unsalted butter, softened
  • 200 g granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 250 g all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 120 ml heavy cream
  • 50 g brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Add vanilla extract and the egg to the creamed mixture, beating until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  5. Gradually incorporate dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until a uniform dough is achieved.
  6. Portion dough into 2.5 cm balls and place onto the prepared tray, leaving 5 cm between each.
  7. Gently flatten each dough ball into a thick disk using the back of a spoon.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are set.
  9. Cool the cookies on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack until completely cooled.
  10. In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring heavy cream to a simmer, stirring regularly.
  11. In a separate bowl, whisk together brown sugar and cornstarch, then gradually add to simmering cream while whisking to avoid lumps. Cook for 2–3 minutes more until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  12. Spoon a small amount of the crème brûlée mixture onto the cooled cookies.
  13. Transfer cookies to the oven under the broiler for 1–2 minutes, watching closely until the topping caramelizes to a golden finish.
  14. Allow the caramelized topping to cool and fully set before serving.
