Cookie Butter Cookie Ingredients
- 1 cup cookie butter (also known as Biscoff or Speculoos)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup oat flour (add up to 1/2 cup oat flour total if mixture seems too moist)
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking by the time your dough is ready.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the egg and sugar together until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated, creating a light base for your cookie dough. Then add the cookie butter (Biscoff) and mix well.
- Add the flour: Stir in oat flour using a wooden spoon or paddle attachment on a stand mixer until the ingredients are well combined. If the dough feels too moist or sticky, gradually add more oat flour up to 1/2 cup total to reach the right consistency.
- Chill the dough: Cover the dough and place it in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes. This step firms up the dough, making it easier to scoop and shape.
- Shape cookies: Use a small ice cream scoop or a tablespoon to portion out about 18 small cookie balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them 1-2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Create signature pattern: Press the tops of the cookie balls gently with a fork in a criss-cross pattern, giving them a classic cookie appearance and helping them bake evenly.
- Bake the cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes or until cookies turn a golden brown color. Keep an eye on them as baking times may vary depending on your oven.
- Cool before serving: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use oat flour as a gluten-free alternative but ensure it is certified gluten-free if needed.
- Adding extra flour gradually helps achieve the right dough consistency to avoid overly sticky dough.
- Chilling the dough is crucial for easier handling and better cookie texture.
- Cookies will be soft when warm; cooling helps them set properly.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
