DC had its first snow of the season today, and my California blood is just not prepared for this weather. I know, other places are much colder, but I’m a weather wimp and can’t handle it. My solution? Stay cooped up inside my apartment, drink coffee, and eat these cookies.
If you haven’t jumped on the Biscoff spread (otherwise known as cookie butter) bandwagon yet, now is the time. Trader Joe’s has recently come out with a crunchy version of this spread, and it is simply heavenly. Just imagine the cookie butter you know and love (or should love, seriously), with tiny bits of Biscoff cookies mixed in. As great as the stuff tastes spread on toast, dipped with apples, in oatmeal, and straight off the spoon, it really shines in baked goods like these. Because really, is there anything better in the world than cookies?
Whenever I make cookies this good, I don’t waste any time bringing them into the office. I just can’t be trusted to keep them for myself because they’ll be eaten up way too quickly. Of all the desserts I’ve brought into work, these were probably devoured the fastest. Given, I only brought ten of them into work (taste testing is a necessary evil), but they had disappeared before lunch. Obviously my coworkers and I are on the same wavelength. Cookies are the breakfast of champions.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
- 3 tbsp cookie butter or Biscoff spread
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg + 1 egg yolk, whisked
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp white whole wheat (or all-purpose) flour
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine butter and Biscoff spread or cookie butter. Microwave 15-30 seconds to melt, then stir to combine. Set aside to cool. Once mixture has cooled about 5 minutes, stir in sugars. Measure out 2 tablespoons of whisked egg, and combine with wet ingredients. Stir in vanilla extract.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together oats, flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon. Add dry ingredients to wet and stir until just combined. If mixture is still crumbly, add about a teaspoon more of whisked egg. Fold in white chocolate chips and pomegranate seeds. Refrigerate dough for one hour prior to baking.
- While dough is chilling, preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Scoop cookies in 1-inch balls onto parchment or silicone baking mat-lined cookie sheet. Bake for 12 - 14 minutes, and remove when cookies appear mostly cooked, but still slightly underdone in the center. Let cool about 5 minutes on baking sheet, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely. Recipe should yield about a dozen cookies.
