Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup (140 g) Speculoos or Biscoff cookie butter
- 2/3 cup (135 g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg (47 g), room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups + 1 tablespoon (200 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Topping
- Extra cookie butter for the tops (about 1 teaspoon per cookie)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (180°C) to prepare for baking your cookies.
- Cream the butters and sugar: In a mixing bowl, use a paddle attachment on low speed to cream together the unsalted butter, Speculoos or Biscoff cookie butter, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add egg and vanilla: Mix in the large egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated, creating a smooth batter.
- Combine dry ingredients: Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until a dough forms, making sure all ingredients are well combined without overmixing.
- Scoop dough onto baking tray: Using a large cookie scoop (about 3 tablespoons), place dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking tray spaced approximately 3 inches apart to allow spreading.
- Add cookie butter topping: Place about 1 teaspoon of extra cookie butter on top of each dough ball for a gooey, flavorful finish.
- Bake the cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown and the cookie butter topping crackles.
- Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and let cookies cool completely on a wire rack before enjoying their soft, gooey texture.
Notes
- Use a large cookie scoop to ensure even cookie sizes and consistent baking.
- Make sure butter and egg are at room temperature to achieve the best texture.
- Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies soft and tender.
- Spacing dough balls about 3 inches apart prevents cookies from merging while baking.
- Extra cookie butter on top enhances the gooey cinnamon flavor and adds a beautiful crackled finish.
- This recipe requires no chilling, making it quick and easy to prepare.
