Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup Biscoff cookie butter (smooth, 170g)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (113g)
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (100g)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50g)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5ml)
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (150g)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (8g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (3g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt (2g), plus more for topping
  • Flaky sea salt, for finishing
  • Optional: 1/3 cup white chocolate chips (50g)
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped toasted pecans (30g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until pale and fluffy (2-3 minutes with mixer, 4-5 minutes by hand).
  3. Beat in Biscoff cookie butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy. Do not overbeat after adding the egg.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and fine sea salt.
  5. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Fold in optional mix-ins if using.
  6. Portion dough into 2-tablespoon mounds using a cookie scoop or spoon. Space cookies at least 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Flatten slightly for even baking if desired.
  7. Bake for 9-11 minutes, until edges are golden and centers look just set.
  8. Remove cookies from oven and let sit on the baking sheet for 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack. While still warm, sprinkle generously with flaky sea salt.
  9. Optional: Drizzle melted white chocolate over cookies before adding salt.
  10. Enjoy warm or let cool fully. Store leftovers in an airtight container.

Notes

For gluten-free cookies, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1-to-1 gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, use vegan butter and ensure cookie butter is dairy-free. Chill dough for 10-15 minutes if it feels sticky or if your kitchen is warm. Sprinkle flaky sea salt while cookies are still warm for best flavor. Optional mix-ins like white chocolate chips or pecans add variety.
