Peanut Butter Biscoff Cookies

This week it’s just Boyo and I (& Auntie M) hanging around the Bungalow. This afternoon, we decided to make cookies. Well, more like Mum spent thirty minutes wandering through the Moosewood Restaurant Book of Deserts and saying that looks good, and that, and that.

In the end I decided on the peanut butter cookies, but with a twist: Biscoff Spread.

I first had Biscoff cookies on the flight between London and Amsterdam back in 2010 when Rudy and I were flying to Romania. I’ve no idea how it took me that long to have them I just knew that Biscoff cookies + Coffee = a party in my mouth. I’d seen the Biscoff Spread at Wal-Mart a while back and picked some up, and I’d seen some recipes for cookies with it on Pinterest, but I hadn’t really done anything with it.

So, today I decided that peanut butter and Biscoff spread might be a good combination so I went for it and the result was pretty decent.

So I present Peanut Butter Biscoff Cookies adapted from the Peanut Butter Cookies recipe on p. 186 of Moosewood Restaurant Book of Deserts.

Peanut Butter Biscoff Cookies
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup Biscoff spread
1 cup butter, at room temperature
2 cups packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 cups unbleached white flour (I used all-purpose)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder.

1) Preheat the oven to 350. Lightly oil or spray the baking sheets.

2) Using an electric mixer or food processor, cream the peanut butter, biscoff spread, butter, and brown sugar until light and well blended. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Stir in the vanilla.

3) Sift together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.

4) Roll tablespoonfuls of dough between your palms to form 2-inch balls (I chose to do 1-inch because I wanted smaller cookies) and place them about 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Press each cookie with the tines of a fork to create a criss-cross pattern. Bake for 10 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a rack to cool.

And enjoy!
