1. 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract and egg until smooth.

3. 3. In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

4. 4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until just combined.

5. 5. In a small saucepan, whisk together the heavy cream, brown sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat until slightly thickened, then let cool.

6. 6. Scoop the dough into small balls. Flatten each slightly and create a small well in the center. Fill each well with a small amount of the creamy filling.

7. 7. Bake the cookies for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

8. 8. Once cooled, the Creme Brûlée Cookies are ready to be enjoyed!
