Makes about 26 cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 1 (14.1-ounce) jar (400 grams) cookie butter
  • 1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • cups (300 grams) granulated sugar, divided
  • ½ cup (110 grams) firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs (100 grams), room temperature
  • teaspoons (6 grams) vanilla extract
  • cups (344 grams) all-purpose flour
  • teaspoons (4.5 grams) cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon (3 grams) kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 grams) baking soda
  • teaspoons (5 grams) ground cinnamon
  • Cookie Butter Glaze (recipe follows)
  • Speculaas cookie crumbs, for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Using a 1-tablespoon spring-loaded scoop, scoop cookie butter (about15 grams each), and place on a prepared pan; freeze until solid, about 1 hour.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter, 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar, and brown sugar at medium speed until fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes, stopping to scrape sides of bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cream of tartar, salt, and baking soda. With mixer on low speed, gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture, beating just until combined.
  • In another medium bowl, whisk together cinnamon and remaining ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar.
  • Using a 1-tablespoon spring-loaded scoop, scoop dough (about 17 grams each), and place on a clean surface. Gently flatten each with the palm of your hand. Place 1 portion of frozen cookie butter on 1 flattened dough scoop, and top with another flattened dough scoop. Press edges together to seal, and roll into a 1½-inch ball; place on a prepared pan. Repeat with remaining dough and remaining frozen cookie butter. Freeze until firm, about 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Toss dough balls in cinnamon sugar until well coated. Place 2 inches apart on prepared pans.
  • Bake, one pan at a time, until edges are lightly browned but centers look slightly wet, 7 to 10 minutes. Let cool on pans for 5 minutes. Remove from pans, and let cool completely on wire racks.
  • Drizzle Cookie Butter Glaze onto cooled cookies; sprinkle with cookie crumbs. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
