03 - 1 tablespoon cornstarch
04 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
05 - ¾ teaspoon baking powder
06 - ½ teaspoon baking soda
07 - ½ teaspoon fine sea salt

→ Wet Ingredients

08 - 2 ounces cream cheese, softened (brick style, full fat)
09 - ¾ cup light brown sugar (135 grams, packed)
10 - ½ cup cookie butter (140 grams)
11 - ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (1 stick)
12 - ⅓ cup granulated sugar (50 grams)
13 - 1 large egg (room temperature)
14 - 1 large egg yolk (room temperature)
15 - 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

→ Mix-ins

16 - 2 cups milk chocolate chips (340 grams)
17 - 15 Biscoff cookies, coarsely crushed

→ Optional Toppings

18 - Melted cookie butter
19 - Coarsely crushed Biscoff cookies

# Steps:

01 - Line 2 baking sheets with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
02 - Whisk together the cake flour, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and fine sea salt. Set aside.
03 - Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or a large mixing bowl and hand mixer, mix the cream cheese, light brown sugar, cookie butter, unsalted butter, and granulated sugar until light and creamy (about 3 to 5 minutes).
04 - Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
05 - Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing slowly until just combined.
06 - Fold in the milk chocolate chips and coarsely crushed Biscoff cookies until just blended. Avoid over-mixing.
07 - Divide the dough into 14 to 16 portions (about 80-90 grams each). For textured tops, rip the dough balls in half and press the jagged sides back together with the textured side upwards.
08 - Place the dough balls on prepared baking sheets and chill in the fridge for about 1 hour.
09 - While the dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
10 - Place 8 cookie dough balls per baking sheet and bake for 11 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Let cookies rest for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack.
11 - Drizzle melted cookie butter and sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookie crumbs on top before serving.

# Notes:

01 - Chilling the cookie dough ensures a chewy texture and prevents excessive spreading.
02 - Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements and optimal results.
03 - If replacing cake flour with all-purpose flour, add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and remove 2 tablespoons of flour.
