Ingredients

The Dough

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (227g)
• 1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
• 2/3 cup brown sugar, packed (135g)
• 2 large eggs, room temp
• 2 tsp vanilla extract (10ml)
• 1 1/2 cup Biscoff cookie butter (approx. 380g)
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (312g)
• 1 tsp baking soda (5g)
• 1 tsp baking powder (5g)
• 1/2 tbsp cornstarch (4g)
• 1 tsp salt (6g)

The Mix-ins

• 2 cups Biscoff wafer pieces, broken up (approx. 150g)
• 1 cup white chocolate chips (170g)
• 1/2 cup crushed pistachios (60g)
• 13 pistachio cream portions, frozen solid (1 oz / 28g each)

The Toppings

• 15 Biscoff wafers, broken into pieces
• 1/3 cup cookie butter, melted for drizzling (approx. 85g)
• 1/3 cup crushed pistachios (40g)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Core: Use a piping bag to drop 1oz portions of pistachio cream onto a parchment-lined tray. Freeze these until completely solid before starting your dough.

2. Cream Butter & Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the room temperature eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and 1 1/2 cups of Biscoff cookie butter.

4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Sift in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt. Mix until just combined—do not overmix!

5. Fold in Mix-ins: Gently fold in the Biscoff wafer pieces, white chocolate chips, and crushed pistachios.

6. Stuff the Cookies: Scale out the dough into 4.5oz balls. Flatten a ball in your hand, place a frozen pistachio cream portion in the center, and wrap the dough around it, ensuring it is completely sealed.

7. Bake: Arrange on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for approximately 13 minutes.

8. The “Scoot” & Style: While the cookies are fresh and hot, use a large circular cutter or bowl to “scoot” them into perfect circles. Immediately insert Biscoff cookie pieces diagonally into the soft centers.

9. Finish: Once slightly cooled, drizzle with melted cookie butter and a final sprinkle of crushed pistachios.

Tips for Success

• Freeze the Centers: Don’t skip the freezing step for the pistachio cream! If they aren’t frozen solid, they will dissolve into the dough rather than creating that distinct molten core.

• Room Temp Eggs: Ensure your eggs are at room temperature so they emulsify properly with the fats, resulting in a smoother dough.

• The “Scoot” Technique: To get those perfect bakery-style circles, use a round object slightly larger than the cookie to swirl it on the pan immediately after taking it out of the oven.

Storage and Freshness

• Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

• Reheating: To regain that “molten” center, pop a cookie in the microwave for 10–15 seconds before serving.

• Freezing: You can freeze the baked cookies for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature and warm slightly before eating.
