Tips for the Best Cookie Butter Stuffed Cookies
Freeze the filling – This ensures the cookie butter stays in the center instead of melting into the dough.
Don’t overbake – The cookies will continue to set as they cool, so take them out while they still look slightly underdone.
Switch it up – Try white chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even a drizzle of melted chocolate on top for extra indulgence.

Ingredient Substitutions & Variations
Oil – You can use melted butter or coconut oil for a richer flavor.
Yogurt – Swap with sour cream for extra tang, or use a dairy-free yogurt for a vegan-friendly option.
Brown Sugar – Dark brown sugar will give a deeper molasses flavor, while coconut sugar can make it slightly less sweet.
Chocolate Chips – Try white chocolate, caramel chips, or chopped dark chocolate for a different flavor profile.
Cookie Butter – Biscoff spread is the classic choice, but any brand of cookie butter works. For a twist, use peanut butter, Nutella, or almond butter.

Vanilla extract
All purpose flour
Baking soda

Salt
Chocolate chips
Cookie butter
Recipe:
Makes 12 cookies
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup yogurt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup chocolate chips
12 teaspoons cookie butter
Directions:
Step 1: Prepare the filling
Before you start the dough, line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop 12 teaspoons of cookie butter and place them on the sheet. Freeze for at least 30 minutes. This step makes it easier to stuff the cookies without the filling melting into the dough too soon.
Step 2: Make the dough
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oil, yogurt, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Step 3: Assemble the cookies
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough and flatten it into a disk. Place a frozen ball of cookie butter in the center, then wrap the dough around it, sealing the edges completely. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Step 4: Bake
Arrange the stuffed cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between each cookie. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Step 5: Cool & enjoy
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm for the ultimate gooey experience.
