Cookie Butter Cookies Ingredients
- ½ cup butter (softened)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¾ cups Biscoff cookie butter, divided
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Sea salt for topping
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to ensure non-stick baking and easy cleanup.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and ½ cup of Biscoff cookie butter until the mixture is light, fluffy, and well combined, which will help give the cookies a tender texture.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Add the egg to the creamed mixture and beat well to incorporate. Mix in the vanilla extract to enhance the cookie’s flavor.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and spices throughout the dough.
- Mix Dry into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
- Form Dough Balls: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 1-2 inches apart. The cookies don’t spread much, so you can fit about 15 cookies per sheet.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges turn lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
- Drizzle Cookie Butter: While the cookies bake, melt the remaining ¼ cup of Biscoff cookie butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Once the cookies come out warm, drizzle the melted cookie butter over them and sprinkle with sea salt for a perfect sweet-salty finishing touch.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet before serving to let them set properly and enhance their chewy texture.
Notes
- For extra texture, consider folding in some chopped Biscoff cookies or nuts into the dough before baking.
- If you prefer a milder spice flavor, reduce the cinnamon to 1/8 teaspoon.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
- Use parchment or silicone mats to prevent sticking and burning on the baking sheet.
