Ingredients:
- 113 grams of unsalted butter, room temperature
- 55 grams of white sugar
- 140 grams of plain flour
- 110 grams of walnuts, finely chopped
- A pinch of fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
For the Biscoff Topping:
- 50 grams of Biscoff spread or any preferred cookie butter
- 50 grams of icing sugar, sifted
Cooking Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whip the room-temperature butter with the white sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is pale and fluffy, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes with an electric mixer.
- In another bowl, whisk together the plain flour and a pinch of salt, then add the dry mixture to the creamed butter and sugar. Incorporate the finely chopped walnuts until the mixture comes together as a dough.
- With clean hands, roll the dough into small balls, about 30 grams each. Roll each ball in icing sugar to coat them lightly and place them on the baking sheet.
- Press down on each dough ball to flatten slightly. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until they are just set and have a light golden hue.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet before topping each one with a teaspoon of Biscoff spread. The topping will firm up slightly as it sits, creating a delightful contrast to the crumbly cookie.
Serve these Cookie Butter Walnut Cookies as a sweet treat and watch them disappear before your eyes!
