COOKIE BUTTER COOKIES

“Ah, Cookie Butter, the Peanut Butter substitute that tastes like a spoonful of Heaven.  Well, actually it tastes like a beautiful harmony of a Sugar Cookie and Molasses Cookie in a creamy paste.  In this case, they add a deep hint of Molasses within each crisp bite.  Enjoy!”

1/2 cup Butter

1 1/2 cups Cookie Butter (about one jar, but still measure)

1 cup Brown Sugar

1 Egg

1 3/4 cups Flour

1 teaspoon Baking Powder

1/2 teaspoon Salt

Sugar for topping

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix together the butter, cookie butter, and brown sugar.

Mix in the egg.

Mix in the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Take a Tablespoon sized ball of dough and roll in sugar.

Place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.

FOR A CRISPY COOKIE – Take a fork and make the classic “Peanut Butter Cookie” crosswise pattern in the dough.  Bake for 12 minutes.  Remove from oven, place on a wire rack, and cool for 5 minutes.

FOR A SOFTER COOKIE – Bake for 10 minutes.  Remove from oven, place on a wire rack, and cool for 5 minutes.

 

Makes about 48 cookies.
