SPECULOOS CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
 
 
Ingredients
  • 115g unsalted butter, softened (1/2 cup)
  • 100g caster (superfine) sugar (about ½ cup)
  • 100g brown sugar (about ½ cup)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste
  • 140g Speculoos or Biscoff spread, or Cookie Butter (1/2 cup)
  • 280g plain flour (2¼ cups US)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cornflour (cornstarch)
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp dutch cinnamon
  • 225g chocolate chips, I used a mixture of milk and dark (about 1¼ cups)
Method
  1. Preheat the oven to 180 C (350 F) and line a few trays with baking paper.
  2. Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg, yolk and vanilla one at a time, beating until combined between each addition. Beat in the Speculoos until incorporated.
  4. On a low speed, beat in the flour, soda, cornflour, salt and cinnamon, until just combined. Stir through the chocolate chips.
  5. Use a medium cookie scoop or large tablespoon to drop balls of cookie dough on the lined trays. I tend to bake a few right away, but this dough also works very well if you chill the scooped balls overnight, or you can freeze them for later baking.
  6. Bake for 9 - 10 minutes, until just golden around the edges. Allow to cool on trays.
  7. Makes 20 cookies.
  8. Happy baking!
