Ingredients
For the Cookie Dough
- Cookie Butter – This is the star of the recipe, giving a spiced, caramelized flavor that melts beautifully inside the cookie. You can substitute with Nutella or peanut butter for a different spin.
- Butter – Provides richness and structure. Unsalted butter is best, but salted butter works if you reduce the added salt slightly.
- Granulated Sugar – Adds sweetness and gives the cookies that chewy texture. Coconut sugar can be used for a more natural sweetener.
- Brown Sugar – Adds moisture and depth of flavor thanks to its molasses content. Dark or light brown sugar both work here.
- Egg – Binds the dough and adds richness. If needed, use a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flax + 3 tablespoons water) for an egg-free option.
- Vanilla Extract – Boosts flavor and enhances the spices. Almond extract can be used for a subtle nutty twist.
- All-Purpose Flour – Forms the base of the dough and keeps the cookies tender. Whole wheat pastry flour can be swapped in for a heartier version.
- Salt – Balances sweetness and enhances flavor.
- Baking Soda – Helps the cookies rise slightly while keeping them chewy.
- Granulated Sugar – Creates that signature sweet crunch on the outside.
- Cinnamon – Brings the warm spice that makes a snickerdoodle so classic. Pumpkin pie spice can be swapped in for a seasonal variation.
How to Make Cookie Butter Stuffed Snickerdoodles
- Make the dough
- Cream butter and sugars until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla.
- Mix in flour, salt, and baking soda until just combined.
- Fill with cookie butter
- Scoop dough into 8 balls. Flatten each, add 1–2 tablespoons of cookie butter, and wrap dough around the filling. Seal completely.
- Roll and bake
- Coat each cookie in cinnamon sugar.
- Bake at 350°F for 10–12 minutes, until set around the edges.
- Cool and enjoy
- Let cookies rest for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy warm for the ultimate gooey center.
Tips for Success
- Seal the dough completely to prevent the filling from leaking out while baking.
- Chill the cookie butter slightly before stuffing to make it easier to work with.
- Don’t overbake—pull them from the oven when the edges are set but the centers look soft.
Serving Ideas
- Pair with a glass of milk or hot cocoa for the ultimate comfort treat.
- Bake a double batch and gift them during the holidays.
- Warm leftovers in the microwave for a fresh-from-the-oven gooey center.
