Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (115g) butter, softened
  • 1 cup cookie butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper to ensure even baking and prevent sticking.
  2. Cream Butter, Sugar, and Cookie Butter: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and cookie butter together until creamy and well combined to create a rich base flavor and soft texture.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth to bind the dough and enhance flavor.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute leavening agents and seasoning.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender.
  6. Scoop and Bake: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking tray spaced about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden but centers are still soft.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. This sets the cookies and preserves their chewy texture.

Notes

  • Use softened butter for a tender cookie.
  • Remove cookies slightly underbaked to keep them chewy.
  • Chill dough for 30 minutes if your kitchen is warm to prevent spreading.
  • Spoon flour into measuring cups and level off to avoid dense texture.
  • Adjust cookie scoop size for softer centers or crispier edges.
