Ingredients

Scale

Cookies

  • 70 g Brown Sugar
  • 70 g Sugar
  • 115 g Butter, melted
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 220 g Plain Flour
  • 1 tbsp Cornflour (Cornstarch)
  • 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 mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, white sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to incorporate.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the plain flour, cornflour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. This ensures the dry ingredients are well integrated and aerated for a lighter cookie texture.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain a tender, chewy texture in the cookies.
  4. Chill the Dough (Optional): For best results, cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading when baked and to enhance flavors.
  5. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  6. Shape the Cookies: Scoop cookie dough balls approximately 1.5 tablespoons each onto the prepared tray, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  7. Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft. Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
  8. Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting: In a clean bowl, beat softened butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the icing sugar and continue to beat until the frosting is light and fluffy.
  9. Frost the Cookies: Once the cookies are fully cooled, spread or pipe the cream cheese frosting generously on top of each cookie.
  10. Serve and Store: Serve the frosted cookies immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Allow to come to room temperature before serving for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Chilling the dough helps prevent cookies from spreading too much while baking.
  • Use softened butter for the frosting to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth texture.
  • Make sure cookies are completely cool before frosting to avoid melting the frosting.
  • The combination of baking soda and baking powder gives the cookies a balanced rise and soft crumb.
  • These cookies can be stored refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen for longer storage.
