Ingredients
The Filling
• 16 heaping tbsp portions Cookie Butter, frozen solid
Dry Ingredients
- 4 1/2 cups (563g) All-Purpose Flour
- 3 tsp (8g) Cornstarch
- 2 tsp (10g) Baking Soda
- 1 tsp (6g) Salt
Wet Ingredients & Mix-ins
- 8 oz (227g) Cream Cheese, softened
- 1 1/2 cups (340g) Unsalted Butter, softened
- 2 Large Eggs, room temperature
- 1 tsp (5ml) Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp (5ml) Strawberry Emulsion (for that bold, bakery flavor)
- 1 tbsp (7g) Strawberry Powder (or 1oz freeze-dried strawberries, pulverized)
- 1 cup (200g) Granulated Sugar
- 1 cup (200g) Brown Sugar, packed
- Pink or Red Gel Food Coloring (Optional, for a vibrant pop)
- 2 cups (340g) White Chocolate Chips

The Toppings

Instructions
1. Prep the Filling: Line a tray with parchment paper. Scoop 16 heaping tablespoons of cookie butter onto the tray and freeze until solid.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream the Base: In a stand mixer or large bowl, combine the softened butter and cream cheese. Beat until smooth and creamy.
4. Incorporate Flavors: Add the eggs, vanilla, strawberry emulsion, strawberry powder, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. If using, add a few drops of gel food coloring. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and vibrant.
5. Fold in Solids: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Fold in the white chocolate chips and crumbled Biscoff wafers until fully incorporated.
6. Chill the Dough: Place the dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dough to firm up.
7. Stuff the Cookies: Measure out 5 oz (142g) portions of dough. Flatten each ball and place a frozen cookie butter portion in the center. Wrap the dough around the filling, ensuring it is completely sealed. Your final balls should weigh approximately 5.5 oz (156g).
8. Flash Freeze: Place the stuffed dough balls in the freezer for 20 minutes. This prevents the cookie butter from leaking out too quickly during baking.
9. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Place cookies on a parchment-lined sheet and bake for approximately 15 minutes until the edges are set.
10. Decorate: Allow the cookies to cool for 15-20 minutes. Top each with a dollop of melted cookie butter, a whole Biscoff wafer, an extra drizzle of cookie butter, and a dusting of cookie crumbs.
Tips for Success
• Don’t Skip the Freeze: Flash-freezing the stuffed dough balls for those 20 minutes is the secret to keeping that Biscoff center from spilling out onto the pan.
• Room Temp Ingredients: Ensure your eggs and butter are truly at room temperature to prevent the cream cheese from curdling when mixing.
• The “Bakery Look”: For a perfect circle, use a large round cookie cutter to “scoot” the cookies into a perfect shape immediately after they come out of the oven while they are still soft.
Storage, Freshness & Reheating
• Storage: Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
• Freezing: You can freeze the baked cookies (without the toppings) for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature and add fresh toppings before serving.
• The Molten Pull: For that signature “cookie butter pull,” microwave a cookie for 10-15 seconds before eating to remelt the core!
