# Ingredients:

→ Dry Ingredients

02 - ¾ cup all-purpose flour (95 grams)
03 - 1 tablespoon cornstarch
04 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
05 - ¾ teaspoon baking powder
06 - ½ teaspoon baking soda
07 - ½ teaspoon fine sea salt

→ Wet Ingredients

08 - 2 ounces cream cheese (57 grams, softened, full fat, brick style)
09 - ¾ cup light brown sugar (135 grams, packed)
10 - ½ cup cookie butter (140 grams)
11 - ½ cup unsalted butter (softened, 1 stick)
12 - ⅓ cup granulated sugar (50 grams)
13 - 1 large egg (room temperature)
14 - 1 large egg yolk (room temperature)
15 - 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

→ Add-ins

16 - 2 cups milk chocolate chips (340 grams)
17 - 15 Biscoff cookies, regular size (coarsely crushed)

→ Optional Toppings

18 - Melted cookie butter
19 - Crushed Biscoff cookies

# Instructions:

01 - Line 2 baking sheets with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
02 - Whisk together the cake flour, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
03 - In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment (or a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer), mix the cream cheese, light brown sugar, cookie butter, unsalted butter, and granulated sugar until light and creamy, about 3 to 5 minutes.
04 - Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to the wet mixture until well combined. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing slowly until just combined.
05 - Fold in the chocolate chips and coarsely chopped Biscoff cookies until just blended. Avoid over-mixing.
06 - Divide the dough into 14 to 16 balls (about 80-90 grams each). To create textured tops, take a dough ball, rip it in half, and press the halves back together with the jagged sides facing upward.
07 - Place 8 dough balls on each baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for about an hour.
08 - While the cookie dough chills, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
09 - Bake cookies for 11 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. For perfectly round cookies, swirl a large biscuit cutter or glass around each cookie while hot to shape them evenly. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
10 - Drizzle melted cookie butter and sprinkle with crushed Biscoff cookies before serving.

# Notes:

01 - Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
02 - Freeze baked cookies for up to 2 months or freeze dough balls for up to 3 months and bake directly from frozen.
03 - Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements and best results.
