Biscoff Sandwich Cookies

 

Ingredients

For the cookies:

16 Biscoff cookies, pulverized to a crumb
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, slightly cold
1/2 cup smooth Biscoff cookie butter
1 cup brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs, cold
1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Filling:

3/4 cup unsalted butter, slightly cold
3/4 cup smooth Biscoff cookie butter
2 cups powdered sugar, measured then sifted

Instructions

For the Cookies

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

2. In a medium size mixing bowl, whisk together the Biscoff cookie crumbs, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and cookie butter until smooth.

4. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar and mix until, fluffy and smooth, about 2 minutes.
Stir in the eggs and vanilla until well blended.

5. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

6. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, form tablespoon size balls of cookie dough. This recipe will make 70 individual cookies, 35 full cookie sandwiches.

7. Place the cookie dough about 1 to 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet. (I fit 20 on each of my pans).

8. Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow the cookies to cool completely before adding the filling.

For the Filling

9. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and cookie butter on medium-high speed until smooth.
Stir in the powdered sugar and beat for an additional two minutes.

10. Using a piping bag, pipe buttercream onto one of the cookies and sandwich it with a second cookie.
