Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup canola or vegetable oil
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- one 8-ounce block cream cheese, softened
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 ½ to 3 cups confectioners’ sugar, or as desired
- granulated sugar, about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon per cookie
Instructions
- To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the butter, oil, sugars, and beat on medium-high speed until creamed and combined, about 4 minutes.
- Add the egg, extracts, and beat until combined.
- Add the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, and beat on low speed until just combined.
- Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, or your hands, form approximately 20 equal-sized mounds of dough, roll into balls, and flatten about halfway.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mounds for at least 2 hours, up to 7 days.
- Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with a Silpat or spray with cooking spray. Place dough mounds on the baking sheet, spaced at least 2 inches apart.
- Bake for about 8 minutes or until edges have set and tops are just set; do not overbake.
- Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet before frosting.
- In a stand mixer, add cream cheese and butter, beat until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add 2 ½ cups confectioners’ sugar and beat to incorporate, adding more sugar for desired consistency.
- Add 2 to 3 teaspoons frosting to the top of each cookie, smooth with a knife.
- Sprinkle each cookie with about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon granulated sugar.
- Using a kitchen torch, brûlée the sugar on all cookies for about 2 to 3 seconds each. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Chill the dough for maximum flavor and texture.
- Ensure cookies do not overbake for the best chewy texture.
- Use a kitchen torch carefully to achieve the perfect brûlée effect.
