Speculoos Cookie Butter-Stuffed Snickerdoodles

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Make the cookie butter: In a food processor, combine the butter, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and cookies. Process until the cookies break down and the mixture is the texture of peanut butter.
• Using a small ice cream scoop or your hands, scoop 12 ½-inch (1 ¼ cm) balls of the cookie butter onto the prepared baking sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes.
• Make the cookie dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy.
• Add the egg and whisk to incorporate.
• Sift in the flour, cinnamon, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Fold with a rubber spatula to combine.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough for 30 minutes.
• Make the cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
• Roll the cookie dough into 24 ½-inch (1 ¼ cm) balls.
• Flatten a dough ball in your hand and add a cookie butter ball to the center. Top with another flattened ball of cookie dough and pinch the edges of the dough together. Roll into a ball to completely encase the cookie butter. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Roll the cookie dough balls in the cinnamon sugar to coat.
• Place the cookie balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing about 3 inches (7 ½ cm) apart – there should be 6 per baking sheet.
• Bake for 12 minutes, until the edges are light golden brown.
• Let cool, then serve.
• Enjoy!
