Boy oh boy. I may have outdone myself with this one, guys.

These Cookie Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies may be the best cookie (and one of the best baked goods) to come out of my kitchen. EVER.

Wow. Just WOW.

I know I am giving myself a really big pat on the back here, but I think it ‘s because as a recipe developer, when a recipe exceeds your expectations, it’s all that much sweeter. No pun intended. It’s almost like I surprised myself with how great these turned out.

I knew these would taste good. How could they not? But I underestimated just how freaking perfect they would be.

These cookies feature one of my all-time favorite sweet treats: cookie butter. I adore the stuff and often sneak spoonfuls of it out of our pantry. If you haven’t tried it yet, I urge you to pick up a jar! It is life changing stuff. Side note: it’s a great alternative to nut butters for those who can’t have nuts.

This recipe bakes up cookies with perfectly crisp edges and gooey, chewy centers (my ideal CCC texture). The cookie butter throughout the batter is a wondrous combination with the semisweet chocolate chips and cinnamon sugar coating.

My mouth is literally watering as I type this out.

Using a semisweet (or darker!) chocolate is key here – milk or white chocolate will make these overly sweet. We need the balance of the darker chocolate to work with that sweet, soft dough.

This recipe makes roughly 18 LARGE cookies. I keep them on the larger size because they bake up better than smaller cookies. They stay soft and chewy in the center while the edges get crisp. I find it is easier to maintain this texture when the cookies are larger.

I also chill the dough before baking. Do not skip this step! I know it is hard when you are anxiously awaiting a warm and gooey cookie, but the chilling is imperative here. First, because we’re using melted butter in the recipe instead of softened. This means that the cookies need to firm back up before going in the oven. Otherwise, they will spread too much and not hold their shape well while baking.

Chilling the dough also ensures that the flavors have time to meld. Professional bakers recommend chilling cookie dough as long as possible before baking because the flavors have more time to develop and get to know each other. So, in this case, patience is really important!

Ingredients You Need to Make These Cookie Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies:

For the Cookie Dough:

• All-purpose flour
• Ground cinnamon
• Baking powder
• Baking soda
• Salt
• Unsalted butter
• Biscoff cookie butter (Trader Joe’s cookie butter is also great)
• Light brown sugar
• Granulated sugar
• Vanilla extract
• Eggs

How to Make These Cookie Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies:

For the Cookie Dough:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk well to combine.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cooled melted butter, the cookie butter, both sugars, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
• Stir in the eggs and mix until well combined.
• Stir in the dry ingredients, folding gently to incorporate. Fold in the chocolate chips.
• Place the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes – do not skip this step. The chilling is imperative to the final texture and flavor of the cookies.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F and line a couple baking sheets with parchment paper.

For the Coating:

Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl, whisking well to combine.

Baking the Cookies:

• Using a large (2 oz) cookie scoop, scoop out the chilled dough and roll into balls with your hands. Drop each dough ball into the cinnamon sugar and roll to coat on all sides.
• Transfer the rolled dough balls to the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 3 inches between the cookies (these are large cookies and will need room to spread).
• Bake for 12-14 minutes (less for a gooey center, more for a firmer cookie) or until the edges are golden and set and the centers are slightly gooey.
• Remove the cookies from the oven and lightly bang the cookie sheets on the counter a couple times to release any excess air (this creates a super chewy texture). Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheets for a few minutes before removing them and setting on cooling racks.
• Continue with the remaining dough – I like to keep it in the fridge in between uses so it keeps its slight chill before baking.
