Cookie Butter Cookies
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, cut into cubes
- 1/2 cup creamy cookie butter
I used Lotus Biscoff
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
packed
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 Tbsp. cookie butter emulsion
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
milk chocolate, semi-sweet, or dark
- 10 Biscoff cookies
crushed, some chunks are OK to leave in!
Directions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat/silicone baking mats.
- 2
Whisk the dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl: All-Purpose flour, cake flour, corn starch, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- 3
Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment cream the butter, cookie butter, and sugars on medium speed until combined, about 2-3 minutes.
- 4
Add in the egg, egg yolk, cookie butter emulsion and vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Gradually add in the dry ingredients, followed by the chocolate chips and crushed up Biscoff cookies.
- 5
Shape dough into ~8 large dough balls. Pull the ball in half, and then place the two halves back together with the jagged middle parts of the cookies facing up. See the video for guidance. This gives the cookies a gorgeous, rustic look and it's the Crumbl cookie method!
- 6
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for ~10-12 minutes or until the edges and tops look slightly golden.
- 7
While the cookies are still warm, place a circular cookie cutter or a circular drinking glass around the cookies (it should be larger than the cookie so you don’t cut off any edges) and give the cookies a spin. Swirling the cookie should help to smooth out any uneven edges to make the perfect circular cookie!
- 8
Garnish the tops with more chocolate chips when they come out of the oven. These cookies are VERY SOFT so it's important to let cookies cool on the cookie sheet for 15 minutes and then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. Drizzle with a little bit of melted Biscoff spread and crushed Biscoff cookies, if desired and most importantly, ENJOY!

About this Recipe
Craving a cookie experience that goes beyond the ordinary? These Cookie Butter Cookies are not just another treat; they're an event. Imagine biting into an unbelievably soft, giant, and ooey-gooey cookie, packed with the irresistible, spiced caramel notes of creamy Biscoff cookie butter, generous chocolate chips, and delightful chunks of crushed Lotus Biscoff cookies.
Why These Cookies Work
This recipe shines by layering textures and flavors that captivate your senses. The foundation of both all-purpose and cake flour, combined with cornstarch, is crucial for creating that signature melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. A substantial amount of creamy cookie butter, along with brown sugar, ensures an intensely moist and rich dough, while chunks of crushed Biscoff cookies add an unexpected textural delight that sets these apart from standard chocolate chip cookies.
What to Expect
Prepare for a truly indulgent experience. Each giant cookie promises a wonderfully soft, almost pillowy interior that’s incredibly moist and just gooey enough to pull apart. The dominant flavor is that warm, spiced caramel of cookie butter, beautifully complemented by the sweetness of chocolate chips and the satisfying crunch and flavor bursts from the extra Biscoff cookie pieces. These cookies are generously sized, making them feel like a substantial, comforting delight.
Customization & Variations
Tailor these cookies to your liking with simple swaps. The recipe suggests using milk chocolate, semi-sweet, or dark chocolate chips, allowing you to choose your preferred sweetness and intensity. While Lotus Biscoff is highlighted, other creamy cookie butter brands can be used. For an extra textural contrast, try varying the size of your crushed Biscoff cookie pieces—some fine crumbs and some larger chunks work wonderfully.
Serve these magnificent Cookie Butter Cookies as the ultimate dessert or a special afternoon treat. They’re perfect for sharing (or not!) and pair beautifully with a cold glass of milk or a warm cup of coffee.
