Ingredients
Frozen Cookie Butter Centers
- 13 teaspoons Biscoff cookie butter
Cookie Dough
- ½ cup (113.5 g) butter, room temperature
- ½ cup (118.29 g) Biscoff cookie butter
- ½ cup (110 g) brown sugar
- ⅓ cup (66.67 g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups (210 g) all-purpose flour
Topping
- 2 tablespoons Biscoff cookie butter (for drizzling)
- Flaked salt (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Freeze Cookie Butter Balls: Scoop 13 one-teaspoon-sized balls of Biscoff cookie butter onto parchment or wax paper, then place them in the freezer to harden for about 15 minutes. This freeze step ensures a gooey center in the cookies after baking.
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow even baking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix the ½ cup butter with ½ cup Biscoff cookie butter until smooth and well combined. Add both the brown sugar and granulated sugar, then mix until the mixture is light and fluffy. Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Add salt, baking soda, and flour to the bowl with the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed just until combined, stopping when there are still some flour remnants visible to avoid over mixing and tough cookies.
- Assemble Cookies: Use a 3-tablespoon cookie scoop to form large balls of dough. Retrieve the frozen cookie butter balls from the freezer and push each one into a dough ball, making sure the cookie butter is completely covered by the dough. Place 6-7 cookies spaced evenly on each prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 11 to 13 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. This baking time ensures a soft, chewy texture.
- Drizzle and Garnish: While the cookies bake, melt 2 tablespoons of Biscoff cookie butter in the microwave for 15-20 seconds until drizzle consistency. Once the cookies come out of the oven, drizzle the melted cookie butter over them and sprinkle with flaked salt. Allow the cookies to cool and the drizzle to set before serving.
Notes
- Freezing the Biscoff cookie butter balls is crucial for a gooey surprise center.
- Avoid over mixing the dough to ensure tender and chewy cookies.
- Use room temperature ingredients for best texture and mixing ease.
- Flaked salt complements the sweetness and enriches the flavor profile.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
