Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.

In the bowl of a stand mixer beat the butter and sugars together until fluffy.

Next, add in the vanilla and egg and mix until combined.

In a separate bowl add in the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt and whisk together.

Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until smooth.

Using a small cookie scoop, place tablespoon-sized balls of cookie dough onto your prepared cookie sheets. Press down each cookie dough ball to flatten ever so slightly.

Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes until the edges are slightly golden brown then remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely.

While the cookies are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl beat the cream cheese, confectioner's sugar, and vanilla until smooth.

Next, in a small separate bowl add in the granulated sugar. Then, spread about 1 tablespoon of frosting over each cookie and then press the cookie into the bowl of granulated sugar so that the sugar sticks to the frosting.

Using a kitchen torch, caramelize the sugar on top, set aside to cool, then serve and enjoy!
