Ingredients
Scale
1 cup unsalted butter, softened to a creamy consistency (substituted with coconut oil for a dairy-free option)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large egg yolks (replaced with flaxseed meal for a vegan variation)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (or vanilla bean paste for a more intense flavor)
2 cups all-purpose flour (substituted with almond flour for a gluten-free option)
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup heavy cream (coconut cream for dairy-free versions)
Granulated sugar for caramelizing on top (brown sugar for deeper flavor)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and granulated sugar. Use an electric mixer to cream until fluffy and light in color.
Incorporate the egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then add vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, blending until just combined.
Warm the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until steaming, then whisk it into the cookie dough.
Using a cookie scoop, drop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on the edges.
Once cookies are cool, sprinkle with a thin layer of granulated sugar and caramelize using a kitchen torch or under an oven broiler.
