02 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
04 - 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
05 - 1 cup granulated sugar

→ White Chocolate Mousse
10 - 1 cup white chocolate, chopped

12 - 1 1/4 cups heavy cream, divided
13 - 2 large egg yolks
14 - 2 tablespoons sugar
15 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Berry Jewels
16 - 1 cup fresh raspberries

# Steps:
01 - Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar until fluffy, then add egg and vanilla. Gradually combine dry ingredients with wet to form dough. Divide in half, wrap, and chill for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness, cut crown shapes, place on lined trays. Bake 10-12 minutes until edges are golden. Cool completely before decorating with royal icing and sprinkles.
02 - Melt white chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over simmering water until smooth. In a saucepan, whisk egg yolks and sugar over low heat until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir the egg mixture into the melted chocolate and cool. Whip 1 cup of heavy cream to stiff peaks and fold gently into the chocolate mixture. Chill mousse for at least 2 hours.
03 - Arrange crown cookies on a serving tray. Pipe or spoon mousse into small glasses or bowls and garnish with berries. Scatter remaining berries around cookies and mousse to resemble jeweled treasures.
