Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Cookie Dough
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Bake the Cookies
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Caramelize the Sugar
- Once the cookies are completely cooled, sprinkle a thin layer of granulated sugar on top of each cookie.
- Using a kitchen torch, carefully caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy, golden crust.
- Allow the cookies to cool for a minute before serving to let the sugar harden.
