My Cooking Experience 🧑🍳
After years of baking, I’ve perfected these Cookie Butter Cookies to achieve the ideal balance of crispy edges and a soft, gooey center. The key is chilling the dough to let the flavors develop, making every bite rich and satisfying! 🍪🔥
Ingredients 🛒
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup cookie butter 🥄
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg 🥚
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌿
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 🌟
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional) 🍫
Instructions 🔪
1️⃣ Prepare the Dough 🥣
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, cookie butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
2️⃣ Mix the Dry Ingredients 🌾
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in white chocolate chips if using.
3️⃣ Chill and Shape the Cookies ❄️
Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, rolling them into balls, and place them on the baking sheet.
4️⃣ Bake and Enjoy! 🍪
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve and enjoy with milk or coffee! ☕
