These Cookie Butter Cookies are soft and chewy with that delicious cookie butter flavor. Plus, they're so easy to make and only take a few basic ingredients.
The dough comes together in about 10 minutes and then chills for another 10 minutes before being scooped, rolled in sugar, and baked.
A FEW NOTES BEFORE WE GET STARTED
- Room Temperature Ingredients:
- Butter: It’s important that your butter is softened. In a pinch, you can put your butter in the microwave for about 5 seconds on each side, but watch closely to make sure it is just softening and not melting.
- Egg: You want to make sure that your egg is at room temperature to ensure that it is properly incorporated into your batter. If you forget to leave it out before you start baking, place it in a bowl of warm water for about 15 minutes until it becomes room temperature.
- Measuring Your Ingredients: I strongly encourage that you use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients and ensure that you have the most accurate measurements possible.
- However, if you don’t have a scale on hand and will be using cup measurements, make sure to use the “spoon and sweep” method when measuring to avoid packing in too much of any dry ingredient.
- Oven Temperature: Make sure to preheat your oven for at least 15 minutes before you start baking.
- I recommend purchasing an oven thermometer to get to know your oven so you can adjust your baking temperatures accordingly. Some ovens run slightly warmer or colder so its important to know yours to make sure your baked goods come out right.
Preheat oven to 350º F. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, blend together the butter, sugars, and cookie butter on medium speed until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Add in the egg and mix until combined. With the mixer on low, add in the flour, baking powder, and salt and mix just until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Using a 2 tablespoon scoop, form cookies into balls, place on a parchment lined baking sheet, and chill for 10 minutes. Once chilled, roll each in sugar.
Bake cookies for about 14-15 minutes. Let the cookies cool for about 10 minutes on the baking sheet before carefully moving them to a cooling rack. Enjoy!

Notes
- Leftover cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to one week but are best when enjoyed within the first few days. You can reheat them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
- Cookie dough can be made ahead, scooped, and placed in a ziploc bag to be frozen for up to two months. Once you’re ready to bake, let the dough sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes and bake. You’ll need to add on an extra 5 minutes or so to the original baking time.
