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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

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).

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and beat until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough, roll them into balls, and place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are golden and the centers are still soft.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Once the cookies are fully cooled, lightly brush or dust the tops with edible gold dust for a shimmering finish.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your elegant Gold Cookies!
