Ingredients

  • 8 tbsp cookie butter
  • 1/2 cup butter cold and cubed
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup eggnog
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups flour 160 grams
  • 1/2 tsp of the following: baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 2 oz white chocolate chunks or chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Use a 1 tbsp sized cookie scoop to scoop out 8 balls of cookie butter onto a piece of parchment paper or a plate. Transfer the scooped out cookie butter to the freezer to harden while you make the dough.
  2. To make the dough, add the cold butter and brown sugar to a bowl. Use a stand mixer or hand mixer to mix the butter and sugar until fully combined, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the eggnog, egg yolk, and vanilla. Mix until fully combined.
  4. Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix until just combined.
  5. Add the white chocolate chunks and mix on low until evenly distributed.
  6. Remove the cookie butter from the freezer. Fill a large cookie scoop mostly full with cookie dough. Use your finger to make an indent in the dough (while still in the cookie scoop) and place a frozen piece of cookie butter in the indent. Close the dough around the cookie butter, then transfer the stuffed dough ball onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
  7. Top with extra white chocolate chunks (optional) and transfer to the oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
