Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour Use fresh, sift if lumpy.
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder Dutch-processed gives a deeper flavor.
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil (vegetable or canola) To keep the dough tender.
For the Filling
  • 1/2 cup Biscoff cookie butter (speculoos spread) Chilled and rolled into 24 small balls.
For Rolling and Finishing
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar For coating.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly mixed and no cocoa lumps remain.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture is lighter in color and slightly fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla and oil.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. The dough will be soft and slightly sticky; that texture is ideal for fudgy crinkles.
Prepare Biscoff Centers
  1. Roll the Biscoff cookie butter into 24 small balls (about 3/4 teaspoon each). Chill in the freezer for 10 to 20 minutes.
Assemble and Bake
  1. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough, flatten it, place a chilled Biscoff ball in the center, and carefully wrap the dough around to encase the filling.
  2. Roll into a smooth ball, then roll in powdered sugar until well coated. Place balls 2 inches apart on the prepared sheet.
  3. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the tops are cracked and edges are set; interiors should stay fudgy.
  4. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use vegan butter. For gluten-free, substitute a 1:1 GF flour blend. Make ahead by freezing unbaked balls and baking from frozen.
