Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 sticks unsalted butter, cold
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 2/3 cup cookie butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1½ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp corn starch
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1.5 cups cake flour

Add-ins

  • 12 Biscoff cookies, crushed (some chunks large, some small)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (dark or white), optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 410°F (210°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
  2. Crush Cookies: Crush the Biscoff cookies into a mixture of larger chunks and smaller crumbs to add texture to the cookies.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a stand mixer bowl or a large bowl with an electric hand mixer, cream the cold unsalted butter with brown sugar and white sugar for about 2 minutes or until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Add Cookie Butter: Mix in the cookie butter and continue beating for another minute to incorporate it fully into the mixture.
  5. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the vanilla extract, then the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure an even mixture.
  6. Combine Dry Ingredients: Scrape down the bowl sides, then add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, corn starch, and salt. Mix gently, leaving some white streaks visible to avoid overmixing.
  7. Add Cake Flour: Add the cake flour and mix again briefly, leaving a few white streaks to keep the dough tender.
  8. Incorporate Crushed Cookies and Chocolate Chips: Stir in the crushed Biscoff cookies and chocolate chips if using, distributing evenly throughout the dough.
  9. Scoop Dough onto Baking Sheet: Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough into 12 to 18 cookies, depending on desired size, placing them on the prepared baking sheet. Press some of the remaining cookie crumbs on top of each cookie for extra crunch and flavor.
  10. Bake the Cookies: Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are darkened and the centers have started to set. Larger cookies may require a bit more time. Note that centers may look underdone; they will continue to firm up while cooling.
  11. Cool: After baking, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious cookie butter cookies!

Notes

  • Use cold butter to prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container on the counter or in the refrigerator for a chewier texture.
  • Adding a piece of bread inside the storage container helps maintain cookie softness by drawing out moisture.
