Easy Crème Brûlée Sugar Cookies
I love crème brûlée. It’s hard to beat soft, rich, creamy custard topped with caramelized sugar. There is something so satisfying about breaking the caramelized sugar ‘seal,’ as I like to call it, with my spoon in search of the luscious custard that lies beneath. But rather than make crème brûlée again, I made crème brûlée cookies. They’re elegant, fancy-tasting, rich, and decadent. They’re perfect cookies for holiday parties and events. I’m thinking New Year’s Eve. The frosting is an easy cream cheese frosting and the tanginess complements both the cookies and the granulated sugar that you sprinkle on top of the frosting. That sugar is what becomes caramelized after you brûlée it, or torch it.
