How to Make Cookie Butter Cookies

Let’s get started on these scrumptious cookies! Gather your ingredients and let’s dive right in.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cake flour
2 tsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold)
1/2 cup creamy cookie butter (Biscoff)
3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 Tbsp cookie butter emulsion (or vanilla extract)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
10 crushed Biscoff cookies

You’ll want to preheat your oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. The aroma of cookies baking is simply irresistible!

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cake flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until combined. This little step helps ensure your cookies have the perfect texture.

In a stand mixer, cream together the cold butter and cookie butter with the brown and granulated sugars until everything is smooth. Oh, and if you’re feeling adventurous, try adding some chocolate chips or even a sprinkle of cinnamon – they will add a lovely twist to your cookies!

Next, add in the egg, egg yolk, cookie butter emulsion (or vanilla extract), and vanilla. Mix until everything is well combined. Gradually stir the dry mixture into the wet mixture until just combined. Then, gently fold in the chocolate chips and those crushed Biscoff cookies for that additional crunch.

Shape the dough into large balls—about eight should do it. Place them on the prepared sheets and spread them apart a bit for that perfectly baked look. Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden. Make sure to let them cool on the sheet for a bit before you transfer them to a wire rack. You’ll want to savor that first bite when they’re still warm!

How to Serve Cookie Butter Cookies

These cookies are a fantastic treat on their own or served warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. You can also plate them up with a cup of coffee or tea for the ultimate cozy experience! Kids and adults alike will love munching on these little treasures, and I often serve them at gatherings or cozy weekend get-togethers.

How to Store Cookie Butter Cookies

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay fresh for up to a week if you can resist eating them all in one sitting! You can also freeze the cookie dough in balls and bake them fresh whenever you need a quick cookie fix.

Tips to Make Cookie Butter Cookies

Cold butter is the key here; it helps create that perfect cookie texture. Don’t skip this step!
For a little extra crunch, try adding chopped nuts to your dough. Pecans or walnuts work beautifully.
To avoid overmixing, combine the dry and wet ingredients gently, just until they come together. Nobody likes dense cookies!

Variation

Feel free to get creative! Swap some of the chocolate chips for white chocolate or even butterscotch chips. You could also make them a bit more fancy by rolling them in powdered sugar before baking. It adds a lovely look and a sweet touch!

FAQs

Can I use regular butter instead of cold butter for this recipe?
It’s best to use cold butter for the right texture. So, I recommend sticking with the unsalted butter as stated in the recipe!

What is cookie butter emulsion, and can I substitute it?
Cookie butter emulsion adds extra flavor and moisture to the cookies. If you don’t have it, vanilla extract works just fine!

Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the cookie dough in advance and refrigerate it for up to 3 days, or freeze it if you want to save it for later. Just be sure to let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before baking.

Baking Cookie Butter Cookies is not just about the cookies; it’s about the joy of creating something sweet and special in the kitchen. I promise these cookies will warm your heart and bring smiles all around.
