Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Butter softened, unsalted
- 2/3 cup Sugar granulated
- 1 Egg Yolk
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Gems Topping
- 1 cup Gems
Instructions
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This incorporates air for a tender cookie.
- Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until well combined.
- 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.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie for spreading.
- Press the gems into the top of each cookie dough ball. Ensure they are close together, as the cookies will spread during baking.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 14-17 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers will still be slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This allows the cookies to set properly.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra bursts of color and crunch, press a few additional gems gently onto the tops of the cookies right before baking.
- If you prefer a thicker, chewier texture, chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before shaping and baking.
- To create a festive twist, try substituting half of the all-purpose flour with finely ground oats or adding a pinch of cinnamon.
Expert Tips
- Use high-quality baking gems for the most vibrant colors and best results.
- Don't overbake the cookies; they should be slightly soft in the center when they come out of the oven.
- For even baking, use a silicone baking mat or parchment paper on your baking sheet.
Storage Instructions
- Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep them soft and chewy.
