Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 226 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams light brown sugar
- 1 piece large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 320 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 grams gold dust (edible)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar using a hand or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough, roll them into balls, and place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are golden and the centers are still soft.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies are fully cooled, lightly brush or dust the tops with edible gold dust for a shimmering finish.
Serve and enjoy your elegant Gold Cookies!
