# How To Make It:
01 - Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. In a separate large bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla extract, mixing well. Gradually blend dry ingredients into wet until dough forms. Divide dough in half, wrap each in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness on floured surface, cut crown shapes with cookie cutter, and place on lined baking sheets. Bake 10–12 minutes until edges are light golden. Cool completely, then decorate with royal icing and optional edible sprinkles.
02 - Melt white chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat. Whisk egg yolks and sugar in a saucepan over low heat until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Combine egg mixture with melted chocolate; allow to cool. Whip 1 cup heavy cream to stiff peaks and gently fold into chocolate mixture. Chill mousse for at least 2 hours before serving.
03 - Arrange crown cookies on a large serving tray. Pipe or spoon white chocolate mousse into small glasses or bowls, topping each with a few fresh berries. Scatter remaining berries around cookies and mousse to simulate jeweled treasures.
