What is cookie butter ?

Cookie Butter Emulsion:

This emulsion captures the essence of Biscoff cookies, adding a perfect touch of cookie butter flavor to frostings and baked goods. If unavailable, substitute with extra vanilla extract. Specialty item, but worth it!

Cookie Butter :

Opt for Lotus Creamy Biscoff Cookie Butter, brimming with delightful notes of cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and cloves. Utterly irresistible

Lotus Biscoff Cookies :

These delectable cookies are loaded with warm spices and cookie butter goodness. Use for added crunch and decoration atop the cookies.

A combination of both provides the ideal texture for cookies. Cake flour’s fineness complements the sturdiness of all-purpose flour, resulting in perfection. Look for cake flour in most grocery stores.

Choose your favorite type; we recommend milk chocolate or semi-sweet. Ghirardelli is a preferred brand for its quality.

Preparation :

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Mix Dry Ingredients :

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup of cake flour, 2 teaspoons of cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Set aside.

Cream Butter and Sugars :

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together 1/2 cup of cold, cubed unsalted butter, 1/2 cup of creamy cookie butter (such as Lotus Biscoff), 3/4 cup of packed brown sugar, and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar on medium speed until combined, about 2-3 minutes.

Add Wet Ingredients :

Add 1 large egg, 1 large egg yolk, 1 tablespoon of cookie butter emulsion, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Incorporate Dry Ingredients :

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Add Mix-Ins :

Fold in 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips and the crushed pieces of 10 Biscoff cookies until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Shape Dough :

Divide the dough into approximately 8 large dough balls. Pull each ball in half and place the two halves back together with the jagged middle parts facing up, following the Crumbl cookie method for a rustic appearance.

Bake Cookies :

Place the shaped dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges and tops of the cookies are slightly golden.

Cool and Garnish :

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Optionally, garnish the tops with additional chocolate chips while still warm.

Serve and Enjoy :

Room Temperature: Ensure butter, eggs, and cookie butter emulsion are at room temperature for smooth blending.

Mixing Technique: Cream butter and sugars until fluffy; avoid overmixing after adding dry ingredients.

Avoid Overbaking: Keep an eye on cookies to prevent excessive browning; they should be lightly golden but soft in the center.

Uniform Shape: Shape dough into consistent-sized balls for even baking.
