Ingredient Notes
Biscoff Spread: You can either use Lotus Biscoff brand of cookie butter or Trader Joe's cookie butter. Most large grocery stores now carry cookie butter spread.
Cornstarch: This helps keep our cookies nice and soft.
Sugar: I'm using a combination of white sugar and light brown sugar.
Spices: I use a combination of ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg to give us even more of that cookie butter taste!
White Chocolate Chips: Feel free to substitute these for milk chocolate chunks or chips if you prefer, I just think white chocolate tastes amazing with these Biscoff cookie butter cookies.
Unsalted Butter: I always use European style butter in my cookies.
How to make this recipe
Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together your all purpose flour with your baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cornstarch.
Step 2: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, briefly beat butter until it is smooth and creamy. Add your granulated sugar and light brown sugar and beat on medium high speed for 3-4 minutes. It should be pale in color and light and fluffy. Note, you can also do this with a hand mixer.
Step 3: Add your egg, egg yolk and vanilla extract. Beat on high speed for 1 minute. Scrape the sides of the bowl and then add your Biscoff butter. Beat on medium speed for 1 minute.
Step 4: Pour in your dry ingredients and beat on low speed. Stop the mixer as soon as there are no more streaks of flour. Fold in your white chocolate chips by hand. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in your fridge for 2 hours to chill. Place parchment paper on 2 baking sheets and preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Use a tablespoon or a cookie scoop to scoop out 2 tablespoons worth of dough and roll into a ball. Repeat with all the cookie dough and bake cookies 6 at a time on the baking sheet for 10-11 minutes. The cookies should be golden brown. Note, I haven't tested these with a silicone mat!
Recipe Tips & Tricks
- I recommend using a weighing scale and measuring out your ingredients the metric way. It makes a huge difference to your baking and is the most accurate way to bake!
- If you aren't using a weighing scale, make sure to use the fluff and sprinkle method to measure your flour. Check out the link here.
- To get the perfect cookie shape, use a large mug or glass to ‘scoot’ the warm cookie while it’s still on the cookie sheet.
- Make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking.
- When the cookies come out of the oven, press extra white chocolate chips on top to get that bakery style look!
