Delight in these irresistibly chewy cookie butter cookies, packed with warm spices and rich cookie butter flavor. Perfect for cookie lovers craving a soft, tender bite with a hint of caramelized sweetness.
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup cookie butter (speculoos spread)
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the cookie butter to the creamed butter and sugars and mix until fully combined.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground nutmeg.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden but the centers still look soft.
Remove from oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
