Cookie Butter Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup cookie butter
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the butter, cookie butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes.
3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined.

6. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
