Cookie Butter-Stuffed Snickerdoodles

Cookie butter is a delicious spread made from speculaas, a type of spiced shortcrust cookie that’s similar to a graham cracker or a crunchy gingersnap, and it’s easily located with the jams and spreads in your favorite grocery store. Cookie butter pairs well with the caramelly cinnamon-sugar flavors of a snickerdoodle.

Cookie Butter-Stuffed Snickerdoodles

Makes about 26 cookies

Ingredients

1 (14.1-ounce) jar (400 grams) cookie butter1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter, softened cups (300 grams) granulated sugar, divided½ cup (110 grams) firmly packed light brown sugar2 large eggs (100 grams), room temperature teaspoons (6 grams) vanilla extract cups (344 grams) all-purpose flour teaspoons (4.5 grams) cream of tartar1 teaspoon (3 grams) kosher salt½ teaspoon (2.5 grams) baking soda teaspoons (5 grams) ground cinnamonCookie Butter Glaze (recipe follows)Speculaas cookie crumbs, for sprinkling

Instructions

Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Using a 1-tablespoon spring-loaded scoop, scoop cookie butter (about15 grams each), and place on a prepared pan; freeze until solid, about 1 hour.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter, 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar, and brown sugar at medium speed until fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes, stopping to scrape sides of bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cream of tartar, salt, and baking soda. With mixer on low speed, gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture, beating just until combined.
In another medium bowl, whisk together cinnamon and remaining ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar.
Using a 1-tablespoon spring-loaded scoop, scoop dough (about 17 grams each), and place on a clean surface. Gently flatten each with the palm of your hand. Place 1 portion of frozen cookie butter on 1 flattened dough scoop, and top with another flattened dough scoop. Press edges together to seal, and roll into a 1½-inch ball; place on a prepared pan. Repeat with remaining dough and remaining frozen cookie butter. Freeze until firm, about 10 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Toss dough balls in cinnamon sugar until well coated. Place 2 inches apart on prepared pans.
Bake, one pan at a time, until edges are lightly browned but centers look slightly wet, 7 to 10 minutes. Let cool on pans for 5 minutes. Remove from pans, and let cool completely on wire racks.
Drizzle Cookie Butter Glaze onto cooled cookies; sprinkle with cookie crumbs. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
