I can’t believe I didn’t have a recipe for cookie butter cookies on my site. That’s fixed now. And there’s no butter and no white sugar in them. I’ve got umpteen recipes using cookie butter, but I didn’t have cookies. If you haven’t tried the stuff, crawl out from under your rock and prepare to eat the whole jar the day you buy it. It’s spreadable cookies. And it’s out of this world good. If you like gingersnaps, gingerbread, ginger, molasses, and cinnamon, cookie butter will be your BFF. What better way to use spreadable cookies than to make cookies with it? Makes perfect sense to me. I combined elements from two of my all-time favorite cookie recipes, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies and Soft Batch Dark Brown Sugar Cookies. There’s no butter used and no granulated sugar used. Only brown sugar is used and it keeps cookies so moist. (Please don’t write to say that brown sugar is really just granulated with molasses. If I had a nickle. Oh boy.) They’re similar to the Softbatch Dark Brown Sugar Cookies in texture, thanks in part to not over-flouring the dough so they stay incredibly soft and moist, with a slight chewiness around the edges. The dough is fast and easy to make, and the batch size is very modest, at just a baker’s dozen. If you can’t trust yourself around a jar of cookie butter, you don’t need more than a dozen of these laying around either. I’m no stranger to brown sugar-based cookies and these were wonderful. The brown sugar caramelizes, creating a rich, buttery cookie with hints of caramel and vanilla. Combined with the cinnamon, ginger, and spices in the Cookie Butter, there’s so many comforting flavors and they’re some of my new favorites. Definitely perfect as fall and cooler weather sets in. And I can check cookies-made-with-cookie-butter off my to-make list.

Making cookies has got to be one of my new favorite cookie butter uses! Here’s what you’ll need to make cookies with cookie butter: 

Egg Cookie butter / Biscoff Spread Light brown sugar Vanilla extract All-purpose flour Cornstarch Cinnamon Baking soda Salt

Cookies are one of the simplest cookie butter desserts you can make! Here’s an overview of how the recipe is made:

How to Store the Cookies 

Store cookies airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 4 months. Alternatively, unbaked cookie dough can be stored airtight in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 4 months, so consider baking only as many cookies as desired and save the remaining dough to be baked in the future when desired.
