Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 70 g Brown Sugar
  • 70 g Sugar
  • 115 g Butter, melted
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 220 g Plain Flour
  • 1 tbsp Cornflour
  • ½ tsp Baking Soda
  • ½ tsp Baking Powder
  • ½ tsp Salt

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 90 g Butter, softened
  • 90 g Cream Cheese
  • 250 g Icing Sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, sugar, and melted butter. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated, ensuring a homogenous consistency.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the plain flour, cornflour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and salt.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender cookie texture.
  5. Shape the Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion the dough evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them slightly apart to allow spreading during baking.
  6. Bake the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden while the centers remain soft.
  7. Cool the Cookies: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Make the Frosting: In a bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the icing sugar, mixing well until you achieve a smooth and spreadable frosting.
  9. Frost the Cookies: Once the cookies are fully cooled, pipe or spread the cream cheese frosting generously on top of each cookie.
  10. Serve and Enjoy: Allow the frosting to set slightly before serving. Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh.

Notes

  • For softer cookies, do not overbake; remove as soon as the edges turn golden.
  • Butter should be melted but allowed to cool slightly before mixing to prevent cooking the egg prematurely.
  • Ensure cookies are cooled completely before frosting to avoid melting the frosting.
  • You can add chocolate chips or nuts to the dough for variation.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
