Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¾ cup Biscoff cookie butter, divided
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Toppings

  • Sea salt for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and ½ cup of the Biscoff cookie butter until the mixture is light and fluffy, which usually takes about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Add the large egg to the creamed mixture and beat well until fully incorporated. Then, mix in the vanilla extract to enhance the cookie’s flavor.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and spices.
  5. Mix Dry Ingredients into Wet: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overworking the dough and producing tough cookies.
  6. Scoop Dough onto Baking Sheet: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1-2 inches apart. Note that the cookies do not spread much, so you can place about 15 cookies per sheet.
  7. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges turn lightly golden and the centers are set but still soft.
  8. Drizzle with Cookie Butter and Add Sea Salt: While the cookies bake, melt the remaining ¼ cup of Biscoff cookie butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Once cookies are out of the oven and still warm, drizzle the melted cookie butter on top and sprinkle lightly with sea salt to enhance the sweet and salty flavor balance.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • These cookies naturally bake into a domed shape; to achieve thinner cookies, slightly flatten the dough balls before baking.
  • The drizzle of melted cookie butter and sea salt on top is optional but highly recommended for an enhanced flavor contrast.
  • Do not overmix the dough as it can lead to dense and tough cookies; mix just until combined.
  • Cookies can be frozen before drizzling; add the drizzle and sea salt only when ready to serve for best texture and flavor.
