How to Make Cookie Butter Cookies

As summer’s golden days slowly give way to the crisp embrace of fall, there’s a special kind of magic in the air. The lingering warmth of the sun, the first hints of autumn’s colors, and the cozy anticipation of the cooler months ahead create a perfect backdrop for comfort baking. This Cookie Butter Cookie Recipe is an ideal treat to welcome the new season.

As you bake these cookies, take a moment to reflect on the transitions in your own life. Just as the seasons change, so too do we. Embrace this period of transformation with the affirmation: “I welcome change with an open heart, and I am ready for the opportunities that autumn will bring.” Let this be a time of renewal, where you let go of what no longer serves you and make space for growth and new beginnings.

Whether you’re enjoying these cookies with a warm cup of tea or coffee on a cool afternoon or sharing them with loved ones (like I did!), they are sure to bring a sense of comfort and joy as we transition from summer’s brightness to the cozy embrace of fall.

Ingredients:

•   1/2 cup cookie butter (I used Biscoff), room temperature

•   1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature soft

•   2/3 cup packed light brown sugar

•   1 large egg, room temperature

•   1 tsp vanilla extract

•   1 1/2 cups + 1 tbsp all-purpose flour (measured carefully, see notes)

•   1/2 tsp baking soda

•   1/2 tsp salt

•   Additional cookie butter for topping

Directions:

1.  Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2.  In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, cookie butter, and packed light brown sugar using a mixer on low speed until the mixture is light and fluffy.

3.  Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.

4.  Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until the dough comes together.

5.  Using a cookie scoop (about 3 tablespoons per scoop), portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring each ball is spaced about 3 inches apart.

6.  Place a small dollop of extra cookie butter on top of each dough ball.

7.  Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden and the cookie butter on top has crackled.

8.  Once baked, allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack. Enjoy your delightful treats!
