Cookie butter is added to a basic chocolate chip cookie dough recipe to make this amazing cookie. The warm flavors of cookie butter make this chocolate chip cookie the ULTIMATE of chocolate chip cookies! Cookie butter is the combination of ground up spice cookies, butter and sugar. Cookie butter has the consistency of peanut butter, but the taste of cookies. So adding cookie butter into this chocolate chip cookie dough is pretty much a guarantee for an amazing tasting cookie!
Cookie butter…you have heard of it right?! If not, go ahead and do yourself a favor and pick up a jar or two of this amazingness. You can usually find it at the grocery store right next to the peanut butter. Sometimes it’s called Speculoos or Cookie Butter, and comes in chunky and creamy varieties. Ahhhhh….decisions, decisions!! You can use either chunky or creamy variety in this cookie.
This dough does need to chill for at least 30-minutes before baking….but it’s worth it!
Cookie Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Print RecipeIngredients
- 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2/3 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 jar (14.1-ounce) cookie butter or speculoos
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (I used Rodelle Gourmet Vanilla Extract)
- 1 egg + 1 egg yolk, room temperature
- 1-3/4 cups + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
**Cookies need to chill for at least 30-minutes before baking**
In the bowl of your stand mixer, affixed with the paddle attachment, add the butter, brown sugar and white sugar and beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the cookie butter and beat into the mixture until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat on medium-high speed until incorporated.
Change the speed of the mixer to low, and slowly add the flour, salt, nutmeg and baking soda, mixing only until barely combined. Remove the bowl from the mixer and use a rubber scraper to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Place a piece of plastic wrap on the counter and dump the cookie dough onto the plastic wrap. Wrap the dough tightly in the plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30-minutes (I chilled my dough overnight).
Once dough has chilled, preheat oven to 350-degrees and line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper. Scoop 3 tablespoons of dough, roll into balls and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake cookies for 11-12 minutes. Cookies may appear under done, but they firm up after they have set.
The cookie butter in these cookies give them a slightly different flavor than your average chocolate chip cookie, but it’s not over powering! These cookies quickly disappeared and everyone LOVED them! You guys need to try these!!
XOXO,
