Line 2 baking sheets with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
Whisk together the cake flour, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
1 ½ cups cake flour, ¾ cup all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¾ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment (or large mixing bowl with a hand mixer), mix the cream cheese, light brown sugar, cookie butter, unsalted butter, and granulated sugar until light and creamy, 3 to 5 minutes.
2 ounces cream cheese, ¾ cup light brown sugar, ½ cup cookie butter, ½ cup unsalted butter, ⅓ cup granulated sugar
Next, add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until well mixed. Gradually add the flour mixture mixing slowly just until combined.
1 large egg, 1 large egg yolk, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Add chocolate chips and coarsely chopped Biscoff cookies until just blended. Avoid over-mixing.
2 cups milk chocolate chocolate chips, 15 Biscoff cookies
Divide the dough into 14 to 16 dough balls (about 80-90 grams each). To get textured tops for your cookies, take a dough ball, make it round, then rip it in half, keeping the jagged sides upwards when pressing the two halves back together. (See picture.)
Place 8 cookie dough balls on each prepared baking sheet. Chill in the fridge for about an hour.
While the cookies are chilling, preheat the oven to 375°F.
Bake cookies for 11 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown. To make your cookies perfectly round you can set a a large biscuit cutter or large mouthed glass over each cookie and gently swirl it around to even out all of the sides. This will help the cookies have a round shape after they have spread when baking. Be sure to do this step when the cookies are hot and pliable! Let rest for 5 minutes on baking sheet and then place cookies on a cooling rack until they cool. Optional: Drizzle the cookies with melted cookie butter and sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookie crumbs on top. Enjoy!
