Why I’m Making These Cookies This Holiday Season

This recipe is part of The Sweetest Season, an annual virtual cookie swap co-hosted by Erin of The Speckled Palate and Susannah of Feast + West. Every year, food bloggers get together to share new holiday cookie recipes to make and give.

This year, we are raising money for Cookies 4 Kids’ Cancer, which is a recognized 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to funding research for new, innovative, and less-toxic treatments for childhood cancer.

Since 2008, Cookies for Kids’ Cancer has granted nearly $18 million to pediatric cancer research in the form of 100+ research grants to leading pediatric cancer centers across the country. From these grants have stemmed 35+ treatments available to kids battling cancer today.

What Do Cookie Butter Cookies Taste Like?

Imagine everything you love about Biscoff cookies turned into a soft, chewy cookie. That’s exactly what you get here. These cookies are buttery, tender, and full of deep, comforting flavor without being overly sweet. They pair perfectly with a glass of milk or straight off the baking sheet while still warm (no judgment).

What Is The Difference Between Cookie Butter And Peanut Butter?

Cookie butter, on the other hand, is made from finely crushed spiced cookies (like Biscoff) blended with sugar and oil until creamy. Instead of a nutty taste, it has a warm, sweet, caramel-like flavor with hints of cinnamon and brown sugar.

While peanut butter works as an everyday spread, cookie butter is more of a sweet treat used for baking, dipping, spreading on toast, or enjoying straight from the jar!

Ingredients You’ll Need

• Cookie Butter Spread– Cookie butter adds creaminess to the dough and helps create a soft, chewy texture. It’s what gives these cookies their signature taste and irresistible softness.
• Biscoff Cookies– They help create a bakery-style cookie with more character and a more pronounced cookie butter flavor.
• Butter– Provides richness, moisture, and that classic soft, chewy cookie texture. It also helps the cookies spread and gives them a buttery flavor that pairs perfectly with cookie butter.
• Brown Sugar– Adds moisture and chewiness while giving the cookies a deeper, caramel-like sweetness. It helps create a soft, tender center.
• Granulated Sugar– Contributes to sweetness and helps the cookies spread more evenly. It balances the brown sugar so the cookies aren’t too dense.
• Egg– Acts as a binder to hold the dough together and adds moisture. It also helps the cookies rise slightly and creates a soft, tender crumb.
• Vanilla Extract– Enhances the warm, sweet flavors in the cookie dough and boosts the flavor of the cookie butter.
• Flour– Forms the structure of the cookies. It holds everything together and creates the soft, stable base for a thick, chewy cookie.
• Baking Soda– Helps the cookies rise just enough for a soft, slightly puffy texture. It also encourages spreading so the cookies bake evenly.
• Salt– Balances the sweetness and enhances all the warm, spiced flavors in the dough. Just a small amount makes a big difference.

How To Make Cookie Butter Cookies

Cream the butter and sugars. Beat together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for 3-4 minutes until smooth and creamy.

Add the egg, cookie butter, and vanilla. Mix all of the wet ingredients until they’re fully combined and smooth.

Add the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Form the dough. Slowly incorporate the wet and dry ingredients until a firm dough forms.

Add the chocolate chips. Pour in the chocolate chips and fold them into the dough until incorporated.

Scoop and bake. Use a cookie scoop to form dough balls and place them 2 inches apart on an oven-safe pan. Bake at 350°F for 8–10 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked.

Cool and enjoy. Let the cookies rest on the tray for a few minutes, sticking a chunk of chopped up Biscoff cookie in the top while they’re still gooey, then transfer to a cooling rack. Enjoy warm and soft for the most irresistible bite.

Tips And Tricks

Making Cookie Butter Cookies is easy, but these helpful tips make them even better:

• Underbake slightly. Pull them from the oven when the centers still look slightly soft. The dark color of the dough may give the illusion that they’re overcooked even if the dough is underbaked, but they won’t be.
• Don’t overmix the dough. Mix the dough only until combined to avoid tough cookies. This dough is THICK, so you won’t want to mix for too long anyway.
• Use room temperature butter. Soft butter blends smoothly with the cookie butter for the perfect dough consistency, but it will prevent the cookies from spreading too much like melted butter.

Variations

Cookie Butter Cookies are incredibly versatile! Try one of these fun twists:

• Swap out white chocolate chips. The creamy sweetness pairs beautifully with the warm spices.
• Make them stuffed. Hide a teaspoon of cookie butter in the center of each dough ball before baking for an extra bite of indulgence (not that these cookies need it).
• Add crushed Biscoff cookies. Roll each cookie dough ball in Biscoff cookie chunks before baking for extra crunch and flavor.

What To Enjoy With Biscoff Cookies

Cookie butter cookies are sweet, soft, and full of warm spiced flavor, so pairing them with complementary drinks, dips, and treats makes them even better. Here are some tasty options:

• Cold Milk– Classic and refreshing, it cuts through the sweetness perfectly.
• Hot Coffee or Lattes– The warm, spiced cookie flavor pairs beautifully with rich coffee.
• Hot Chocolate– A cozy option that turns cookie time into dessert heaven.
• Vanilla Ice Cream– Sandwich a scoop between two cookies for the ultimate treat.

How Long Do They Last?

Cookie Butter Cookies stay soft and fresh for up to 5 days when stored in an airtight container. Their moist texture holds up beautifully for several days, making them great for gifting or prepping ahead for parties.

Can You Freeze Them?

Absolutely! These cookies freeze wonderfully.
Freeze baked cookies in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. They keep for up to 3 months.
To reheat, warm a cookie in the microwave for 10–15 seconds for that fresh-from-the-oven softness.

You can also freeze the dough if you don’t have time to bake all three dozen at once! Just scoop the Biscoff Cookie dough balls, freeze, and bake straight from the freezer (add 1–2 extra minutes).
