European Cookie Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter, or as needed
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon hot water
• 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup European cookie spread (such as Biscoff)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon butter.

Beat 1 cup softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Beat one egg into the batter until fully integrated. Add second egg with vanilla extract; beat until smooth.

Dissolve baking soda into hot water in a small bowl; stir into the batter along with the heavy cream. Add flour and chocolate chips into the batter; stir vigorously for 20 seconds. Stir the cookie spread through the batter.

Drop batter onto prepared baking sheet in portions spaced about 1-inch apart.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cookies cool for 5 minutes on sheet before moving to a wire rack to cool completely.
