Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 0.67 cup creamy cookie butter (speculoos spread)
  • 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 0.33 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1.75 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp fine sea salt
  • 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon optional, enhances the speculoos flavor

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Cream butter, cookie butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Beat in vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until smooth.
  • Whisk flour, cornstarch, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl.
  • Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix on low just until a soft dough forms.
  • Chill the dough for 20 minutes to firm slightly for easy scooping.
  • Scoop 1½-tablespoon portions, roll into balls, and set on sheets 2 inches apart. Gently flatten the tops.
  • Bake 9–11 minutes, until edges are set and centers look slightly underdone.
  • Cool on the sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to finish cooling.

Notes

For a twist, fold in 1/2 cup white chocolate chips or finish warm cookies with a pinch of flaky salt. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze dough balls for up to 2 months and bake from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes.
