Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup cookie butter (such as Biscoff)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, cookie butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, ensuring a smooth texture in your cookies.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture until well combined, creating a homogenous batter.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to avoid overworking the dough and maintaining a tender crumb.
- Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet to allow room for spreading.
- Flatten Dough Balls: Slightly flatten each ball using your hand or the back of a spoon to ensure even baking and a classic cookie shape.
- Bake: Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set and centers appear slightly underbaked, resulting in a soft texture once cooled.
- Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps them set up properly without breaking.
Notes
- For extra flavor, stir in 1/2 cup white chocolate chips or crushed Biscoff cookies into the dough before baking.
- Store baked cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
- Chill the dough before baking if you prefer thicker cookies that spread less.
