Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugars:
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Use a whisk to blend them together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla:
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Scoop the Dough:
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to create balls of cookie dough. Flatten each ball slightly in the palm of your hand.
6. Add the Biscoff Spread:
Place about a teaspoon of Biscoff spread in the center of the flattened dough. Carefully fold the edges over the filling and roll it back into a ball.
7. Coat with Crushed Cookies:
Roll the stuffed dough balls in crushed Lotus cookies for an added crunch and enhanced flavor.
8. Arrange on Baking Sheet:
Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space in between for spreading.
9. Bake the Cookies:
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
10. Cool and Enjoy:
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
