Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 10 min
Total Time: 25 min
Servings: 16 regular and 12 lava cookies

Cookware Needed:

  • Stand mixer or mixing bowl
  • baking sheet

Grocery List:

  • 12 – tsps cookie butter (I use lotus biscoff cookie butter)
  • 1 – stick room temperature unsalted butter (½ cup, or 8 TBSPs)
  • ½ – cup cookie butter
  • ½ – cup packed brown sugar
  • ⅓ – cup granulated cane sugar
  • 1 – large egg, room temperature
  • 1 – tsp vanilla extract
  • 1½ – cups of all purpose flour
  • ½ – tsp salt
  • ½ – tsp baking soda
  • 2 – optional tsps of cookie butter for drizzling
  • 1 – optional dash of coarse salt for topping

Recipe:

  1. Scoop 12 – 1 tsp dollops of cookie butter onto a plate and place it in the freezer while mixing the dough.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  3. Combine the butter, ½ cup of cookie butter, sugars, egg, and vanilla extract in a stand mixer.
  4. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking soda, then slowly add it to the stand mixer.
  5. Scoop 16 – 1.5ish tsp dollops of dough onto a baking sheet and bake for 7-8 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when the edges start turning brown.
  6. Scoop 12 – 3 ish tsp dollops of dough onto a baking sheet and then press a frozen cookie butter scoop into the middle. Bake for 10-11 minutes, and remove from the oven when the edges are starting to turn brown.
  7. Optionally, microwave 2 tsps of cookie butter on high for 20 minutes then drizzle across the cookies. Top with coarse salt and serve warm.

Notes:

  • I prefer to eat these warm, they do reheat well in the microwave for about 5 seconds.
  • Store extras at room temperature for about a week, or in the freezer for a few months.
  • Optionally, sprinkle the cookies with some crushed Lotus Biscoffs.
