Concha lovers, this one's for you! Sunday Recipe Inspiration Batch 517 Tatiana Bautista Editorial Co

Concha lovers, this one's for you! [Ends Tonight: Friends & Family: Save 15% on orders $60+]( [logo]( Sunday Recipe Inspiration Batch 517 [Chilindrinas]( Tatiana Bautista Editorial Coordinator If you're pro-crispy edges and corner brownies, I'm willing to bet you love a [cookie capped-bun]( just as much. Simply put, the cookie cap (yet to be officially recognized by Merriam-Webster, but beloved here at King Arthur) refers to the crispy, sugar cookie-like topping that contrasts with a bun or pastry beneath it, seen in everything from [Conchas]( to [Craquelin Cream Puffs](. (Even pastry chef Fany Gerson talks about how her mom [eats the best part of the concha](, ripping off the crispy top and leaving behind the plain dough.) Each recipe has its own take on the cookie cap, but they all share a foundation of butter, sugar, and flour. These [Conchas de Maíz]( veer from the classic with the addition of [masa harina](, but they feel particularly well-suited for fall, imbuing a naturally sweet, corny flavor. The confectioners' sugar in the cap lends itself to a crisp-yet-light texture, rather than an audible crunch. If you prefer a thicker, crunchier cookie cap, using granulated sugar, like in [Pineapple Buns (Bolo Bao)](, will achieve that texture. (Comparisons calling Pineapple Buns "Chinese conchas" or vice versa as "Mexican bolo bao" are pretty spot on!) Or better yet, [Chilindrinas]( (above), incorporate granulated sugar in the cookie dough plus an additional sprinkling of [sparkling sugar]( — the coarse-grained sugar maintains its shape during baking, rather than melting, so a sweet crunch is guaranteed. The cookie cap is yours to experiment with — playful takes on craquelin at pâtisseries range from black sesame to espresso (with pastry cream fillings to match!) and [concha bakers add everything from freeze dried fruit powder to rainbow sprinkles](. These [Lemon Sugar Crunch Buns]( are yet another example — [lemon juice powder]( adds bright citrus flavor, complimented by a delicate [vanilla]( dough. Happy baking, Tatiana This week at King Arthur We didn't have this [classic cookie (or is it a cake?)]( on King Arthur until now.
