Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for whipped cream)
How to Make Whipped Cream Topped Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Using a tablespoon, drop dollops of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookies are cooling, make the whipped cream. In a clean bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whip until soft peaks form.
- Once the cookies are completely cooled, generously top each cookie with a swirl of whipped cream.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious whipped cream topped cookies!
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
- Don’t overbake the cookies; they should be soft in the center.
- For extra flair, you can add chocolate shavings or fresh berries on top of the whipped cream.
Easy Variations
- Chocolate Chip Cookies: Fold in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the dough before baking.
- Nutty Delight: Add 1/4 cup of chopped nuts for a crunchy texture.
- Flavor Infusion: Mix in a teaspoon of almond extract for a different flavor profile.
