Prep and Cook Time:

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 9-11 minutes
Total Time: 24-26 minutes

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cups (180g) all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon (3g) baking soda
1/4 teaspoon (1.5g) salt
1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
1/4 cup (50g) white sugar
1 egg + 1 egg yolk
1/4 cup (57g) Biscoff butter
1/3 cup (95g) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon (4g) vanilla extract
1/2 cup (95g) white chocolate, chopped
5-7 Biscoff cookies, crushed (for the dough and topping)

Instructions:

Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the room temperature butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Add Biscoff Butter and Eggs: Mix in the Biscoff butter, followed by the egg and egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
Add White Chocolate and Biscoff Pieces: Stir in the chopped white chocolate and crushed Biscoff cookies. You can crush the Biscoff cookies by hand or pulse them in a food processor until roughly crushed.
Scoop the Dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out dough, placing it onto the prepared baking sheet. Optionally, you can add a few more pieces of white chocolate on top of each dough ball before baking.
Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the center is still soft.
Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
