Preparation Steps

  2. Cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the vanilla extract and one large egg until thoroughly combined.
  4. Whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and optional nutmeg in a separate bowl.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just incorporated.
  6. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and space them about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
  7. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden and centers are set.
  8. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. Heat the heavy cream until it simmers, then combine with brown sugar and cornstarch until thickened.
  10. Spoon the thickened cream mixture over each cookie once slightly cooled.
