Step by Step Instructions
Please see recipe card below for complete measurements.
STEP ONE:In a small bowl whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Then set aside the flour mixture.
STEP TWO:In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar and granulated white sugar with an electric hand mixer on high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. (If you want to use a stand mixer, use the paddle attachment.)
STEP THREE: Add in the egg yolks and vanilla and mix on high speed until pale in color and fluffy, 1-2 minutes.
STEP FOUR:Next add in the cookie butter and mix on medium-low speed until combined.
STEP FIVE:Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients a little bit at a time, mixing on low then medium-low speed just until combined.
STEP SIX: Scoop the dough into balls using a 2 tablespoon capacity cookie scoop. Arrange the cookie dough balls 6 at a time 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
STEP SEVEN: Bake the cookies for 10-11 minutes, then let them cool for five minutes on the cookie sheet. Transfer the baked cookies to a wire rack to finish cooling.
FAQS
Can the dough be made ahead of time?Sure! You can make the dough and then chill it until you're ready to bake the cookies. Just make sure to bring it to room temperature before baking. The dough will stay fresh in fridge for up to three days or in the freezer for about two weeks. Make sure to wrap it tightly with plastic wrap for maximum freshness!
Can I add mix-ins to these cookies? I haven't tried it but I don't see why not! I would stick with about ½ cup of mix-ins like chocolate chips or white chocolate chips.
Do I have to use Biscoff cookie butter? I’ve only tested this recipe using Biscoff cookie butter spread, but other creamy cookie butter brands, like Trader Joe’s cookie butter, should work similarly.
How do I store the cookies? Store the leftover cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to three days. Or freeze them in a Ziploc bag for up to two weeks.
Pro Tips
Measure your flour properly.This is always my #1 baking tip. Do not ever scoop a measuring cup into your flour. This will always lead to using too much flour.Instead, sprinkle spoonfuls of flour into your measuring cup and swipe excess flour off with the back of a knife. Or better yet, weigh your flour with a digital kitchen scale. 1 cup of flour equals 125 grams.
When the cookies are straight out of the oven, go around them with an extra-large circular cookie cutter.This will help give the cookies a perfect circular shape!
