Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup Lotus cookie butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Lotus cookie butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Whisk in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until the yolk is broken down and the batter is uniform and smooth.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture. Fold gently with a spatula until fully combined without any white streaks of flour; be careful to avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
- Chill Dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This resting period enhances the cookie’s flavor by allowing the dough to develop a deeper color and more caramelized taste.
- Prepare to Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cookie removal and cleanup.
- Shape and Space Cookies: Scoop portions of dough and roll into balls. Place each ball on the parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving about 4 inches between them to allow for spreading.
- Bake Cookies: Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges start to brown slightly, indicating a perfect bake.
- Add Cookie Butter Topping: Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, press small pieces of Lotus cookie butter onto the warm cookies to melt slightly and enhance flavor.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before serving to set their shape and texture.
Notes
- Chilling the dough is important to prevent the cookies from spreading too much and enhances their flavor.
- Do not overmix the dough once the flour is added to keep the cookies soft and chewy instead of cakey.
- Using parchment paper ensures even baking and easy removal.
- Feel free to substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with white or dark chocolate chips according to preference.
- The small pieces of Lotus cookie butter added after baking melt slightly, adding an extra layer of flavor and texture.
