INGREDIENT NOTES

Below are some informative notes about some of the ingredients. Please see the recipe card for the full list of ingredients and their measurements.

Creamy Biscoff cookie butter: Cookie butter is a delicious spread made from is made from finely ground Lotus Biscoff cookies. I use the creamy cookie butter as opposed to crunchy. Use either the Lotus Biscoff or Trader Joe’s (Speculoos). You’ll need a little less than one jar.
Dark and milk chopped chocolate- I use a combination of dark and milk chocolate. Dark chocolate melts into the best chocolate pools. Milk chocolate adds additional sweetness! For the dark chocolate, I recommend using anything from 55% to 77% dark.
Brown sugar: Brown sugar makes these cookies moist and chewy. I like to use dark brown sugar here for its deeper molasses flavor.

SUBSTITUTION OPTIONS

Dark chocolate: You could substitute the milk chocolate for more dark chocolate. Chocolate chips can be used, but they will not melt and spread like the dark chocolate.
Cookie butter: If you can’t find cookie butter, peanut butter can be used instead. They obviously will taste different, but will still be delicious.
Creamy cookie butter: I have only made these cookies with the creamy cookie butter, so that’s what I recommend. That said, crunchy cookie butter could also be used.
Brown sugar: Light brown sugar can also be used.

EXPERT TIPS FOR MAKING

DO NOT OVER MIX DOUGH: Over mixing the cookie dough can result in flat cookies. It’s best to stir in chocolate instead of using the mixer for this reason.
SCRAPE THE SIDES OF THE BOWL: Use a spatula to scrape the sides of the mixing bowl as you make the filling. This will make sure all the ingredients are incorporated.
CHILL THE DOUGH: Chilling the dough gives the flour more time to absorb some of the moisture. As a result, the dough won’t be as sticky and won’t spread too much while baking.
TOP COOKIES WITH EXTRA CHOCOLATE: Add extra chocolate to the tops of the cookies before baking. This will give you shiny, delicious pools of chocolate! You can also top them with extra chocolate as soon as they come out of the oven.
